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.
