Author's note: Imagine the purity of a friendship that knows no time. A man and his loyal dog, side by side through the years. No words were needed, just glances, gestures, and hearts in sync. In the bright mornings or the storms of life, there they were—together. I want to bring you, in the form of poetry, the story of a man and his beloved dog. They walked many roads, shared silences and laughter and every moment became an unforgettable verse in this poetry called life. A story that doesn’t end with time, but lives on in every memory, in every heartbeat.
It was him and his dog every morning every day walking like ghosts emerging from the damp fog and dark dawns They shared dreams secret thoughts linking smiles and subtile glances of understanding, always side by side without demandings between them, words become unnecessary, and silences speaked louder for the heart already knew the way trough flowing roads and open horizons they were together with hearts in harmony sailing across the galaxy transcending time in a love that needed no promises like loyal companions weaving eternal bonds but time and then life faded away and the dog's heart stopped in a sunny day breaking the flow of time and all that was left was the man, caressing yesterdays and longings until one day the man's heart tired of walking alone stopped dreaming and there was no longer anyone beyond past and memories
As the saying goes, “the only time a pet can break the heart of a human is when theirs stops beating.” Beautiful poem made me teary. 🩵
