“TAKE MORE TIME.”

Just sitting there.
With big brown eyes, you looked at me
to tell me – you are mine.
And I – pretend not seeing you
because
there was no time.

Because there was no time?
You loved the car. You want to come?
One step – you stopped, then ran,
you couldn’t resist to be with me
One nod was all – oh man!

When I lay down – you did that too
you were so close to me.
Oh little dog, where are you now –
I want you here, you see?

I want you here. Just sitting there.
I’ll tell you, you are mine.
I love you unconditionally
as you did all the time.

It is too late. The car hit hard.
Your eyes, they closed forever.
I’ll never see your wagging tail
invite for play me, clever.

It will be quiet in my house
no welcome bark nor whine –
Oh Cindy, why, oh Cindy why
did I not take more time.

Did I not take more time –
did I not take more time….
