True Love

Sometimes in life, we share unconditional love and it's just wonderful.
I loved you from the start,
Well
I have to admit
I checked your brother out first
But
Then my eye fell on you
And I knew,
That when the time was right
I would take you home
To share my bed.
I had no idea
That
You would steal so completely
Into my heart
And open up a love
I’ve never known
before
Or since.
A love untainted.
In all our time together,
You never made a promise you couldn’t
Keep.
We had a deep,
Understanding
You and I.
You were the only one,
Who never asked for
More than
I could give.
I could rely upon you
Right up until
That day
You passed
Away.
And left me.
With a hole in my heart
The shape of you.
You taught me how to live a
Full life.
A life of undemanding
Love.
Then you taught me how to have a
Good death
To move gently, without challenge,
Into the next phase.
I hope you will be waiting,
When my turn comes.
As I want to tell you
There was never another love
Like the one we shared.
My best boy.
My Oscar.
My cat.
