Sandpaper Kisses

My silly Romeo doesn't
wake me up now;
I awake in silence,
without his meow.

An ache in my heart.
for his presence again;
And to just feel his big paw
tapping my chin.

My sweet Romeo,
Wherefore art thou?
I'll see you again,
I just know it somehow.

My loving fur-faced soul mate,
We'll never part...
Your pawprints are dug
down deep in my heart.

I'm going to miss you
and those big extra toes;
And your sandpaper kisses
On the tip of my nose.

(I love you... til we meet again)
