I used to cry every time I thought about you
Just like I did the first time you left
Into a red heart-shaped pillow stitched by the woman who fed you
I still remember it clearly
It had flowers, or polka dots, I forget—
Yellow, red, or grey
I forget, couldn't tell, color-blind now and back then
Back then, when you decided you were too grown up to rely on us humans
When you got up and left
Moved to the fast-food restaurant a mile or two away from the house
I continued to cry for a week or so after that
Thought it was a shame you chose to live near that dump
Instead of with us
But I guess you were just a cat.
And I guess I'm just a jokester
Because I made jokes to cope with you leaving for a while
Until I grew up, moved on, forgot about you
Until today.
Maybe my brain kept the memory of you stored on the back burner
Because I have a new cat that looks just like you
Which is probably why I love him so much
Although he'll never be as magical as you
