Never thought I would like a pet dog.

Never thought I would have PTSD either

Never knew I could receive the unconditional love you gave me

Every night I awoke in terror you were already by my side wet nose on my arm

Everytime the world was too big and overwhelming you brought me back to the small world we shared

Never thought my heart would break so badly when I had to say goodbye

Now the world is big and frightening again and I can't go out or sleep

They offered me a new best friend butI don't know if I have the strength to open my heart again

I don't want to betray the special bond I had with my one and only best friend
