Early Goodbye

I have to say goodbye early
I won’t be there to see you off
And my heart breaks

What short time that we had
But I learned from you
And the wonder I saw inside of you

You’re on to a better place
You’ll love it
You’ll thrive
But it still aches to say goodbye

The future is bright
For the both of us two
When you’re gone
There’s three more to look to

But you’ll hold a special place
In my heart, you see
Because you’re the first spots I ever got to meet

You’re such a jerk
With your pounce scares and hissy fits
Yet your chirps melted my heart to bits

I want to say thank you
But you won’t understand
You’ll be gone and onto a new land

But here’s to you
And your fiery spirit
Your naptimes and hunts
How I said you shouldn’t eat it

Though, I cannot lie
My heart does soar
Most departures are sad
A spirit out the door

When I think of you, I’ll smile
You can believe it to be true
I’m so grateful I got to work with you

I’m sorry to say
We’ll likely never meet again
But I hope you get a great send off in the end

I have to say goodbye early
I won’t be there to see you off
And my heart breaks
