Annie
Soft orange fur
Loving yellow eyes
A purr to say "I love you"
A tail to twitch hi
That all knowing gleam
In each of your eyes
To me makes it seem
Like everything is going right
You slept around my head
Every single night
Giving me sweet dreams
And guarding me from fright
You waited patiently
All through the day
For when I got home
And we could play
I wonder what you thought
That one fateful day
When I didn't come home
Did you think I was simply delayed?
But about the third day?
After a cold and sleepless night
Did you still think I was coming?
Or did you succumb to fright
And what about the third day
Did you still believe in me then?
Were you waiting for me to walk through the door
And we could be together again
Like none of this ever happened?
Forgive me dear kitty
For I still love you so
Oh I love you so dearly
I had no choice but to go
You're still in my heart
I think of you each day
But I hate being apart
I didn't want it this way
I hope that you're happy
Wherever you are now
And I hope you forgive me
And I hope you can see
And I hope-most of all-
That you still love me
