This isn't meant to last, this is for right now
You always knew this wasn't permanent. This was transient at best. It was the way it was always going to be. But I guess knowing doesn't stop the pain, does it?
I slept in your bed that last night to say good bye. I know you thought it out of character, I'd been so flighty recently and you were so surprised, so happy to find me there once more. You stroked me and I curled up next to you, but when you came home from work that day I was long gone.
Despite my white belly, I'm a black cat and the night belongs to me. I'm not a tabby content to rule nothing but the couch. I'm not white and petrified of the outdoors. Nor am I pure-breed and terrified of the horrible "out there". Born in a parking lot and with asphalt running through my veins, I always knew one day I'd have to go. I always knew and so did you.
Thank you for the warmth, the kindness and the love. Thank you for the patience and the care. Thank you for taking a chance on me when nobody else would. I hope you know the time we shared is as special to me as it is to you.
I'm sorry I hurt you. If I could have avoided it I would have, but sometimes we do things that hurt others because to not do them hurts us too much. Can you understand?
I hope we see each other again, but for now this is
goodbye.
