"Hannah, it's raining on me." "Sherry, it's raining on everybody, go sit down!"


The last time we were together
I cried.
You walked slowly to the left
and I the right.

It was the final night
and I knew it was so
that we were part
when we'd been so close.

But I took a deep breath
and closed my eyes
As you went off to the left
and I to the right.

And now I somberly remember
the painful night before you died.
But something in me makes me wonder
if you're the one who's still alive.

I wrote this about my dog, Buddy. He had been my best friend from the time I was five until I was thirteen, when he had to be put down because of a tumor. I had to leave him and go to my room, knowing I'd never seen him again. It was the hardest thing I've ever done.
