I honestly never expected to feel this way
Never did I expect you to become a part of me
The fear of not having you around was heart breaking
The joy of being able to call you mine was heart-warming
Your presence had an amazing capability to lighten the mood no matter the circumstance

In a way, I was jealous of you
Everyone who crossed your path fell in love with you
You had a fierce sense of independency
You never backed down from anyone without a fight
You were fearless

In a way, I needed you in my life
You were there for me when no one else cared
You fought for me
Your loyalty was like no other, you taught me the definition better than any dictionary in the world
I felt safe with you

Your appearance was astonishing
Your deep brown eyes had the ability to transition your mood into something incredible
The way your dark brown hair blew gently in the breeze was almost magical
Your presence impacted everyone no matter what
You were a masterpiece

It’s a complete shame cancer increased the speed of your lifespan
Your final moments were the hardest
Although knowing you didn’t have to suffer anymore made it easier
You lived as a warrior, died as a legend
You can never be duplicated, you were the best dog anyone could ask for

I miss you, Onyx
