Nothing about those days felt special…
until they were gone.
It was just you…
following me from room to room.
Just the soft click of your nails on the floor.
Just the quiet way you waited
like I was the center of your whole world.
I didn’t realize it then…
how something so ordinary
was becoming everything.
Filling your bowl.
Letting you out.
Stepping over you in the kitchen
because you always chose the middle of the floor.
Little things.
Routine things.
Things I rushed through…
never knowing one day
I would slow down just to remember them.
Now the house is still.
No soft footsteps behind me.
No familiar weight leaning against my leg.
No eyes watching me like I mattered more than anything.
And suddenly…
Every small moment we had
feels sacred.
Like they weren’t just habits…
they were quiet rituals of love.
The way you greeted me
like I’d been gone forever.
The way you sighed when you curled up close.
The way your presence turned ordinary days
into something warm and whole.
I didn’t lose the big moments.
I lost the everyday ones.
And somehow…
those were the ones that mattered most.
But maybe…
they’re not really gone.
Maybe they’ve just changed form.
Because now…
I find you in the simplest things.
In the light hitting the floor
where you used to sleep.
In the silence that still feels like it’s waiting for you.
In the quiet moments that suddenly feel… full.
Like something unseen is still here.
Still loving me
in the same steady way.
So I hold onto that.
That the ordinary wasn’t ordinary at all.
It was you.
It was love.
It was everything.
And now…
every small memory
has become something sacred I carry
until I find you again. 🌈🐾
