Souls Entwined

You are everywhere and nowhere at the same time
You are part of me, souls entwined forever
You were such a fighter, defeating so many odds
You loved me as I loved you with utter devotion
I miss your face, your smell, your funny ways
So sensitive, so loving, so more like a dog than a cat
Now I wake and pain hits me
When you were here waking was licks and joy
Opening my eyes to see your face an inch from mine
My grief is large, but never as big as the memories of our happy times
Thank you my boy, my joy, my Stanley
