A long Goodbye

Ya cavé tu pozo, armé tu cajón... martillé tu cruz… No tengo dudas de que llegó tu hora, ni de que tengo la fuerza para sostenerte ya en tu último aliento.

Mi flia y amigos todos saben ya que va a ser, y cuánto, cuánto me va a doler. Ésas lágrimas que rara vez caen, ya empezaron a caer; y por mucho que no quiera, te voy a perder. 

Pero qué me voy a hacer con esas frases que me esperan...? “...Es la vida... Solo un perro”... Como si no lo fuera yo a saber. Qué voy hacer con ese vacío que ya sé voy a tener.

Hace 14 años que en la ruta sos mi copiloto fiel, que yo voy con una mano en el volante y otra posando en tu piel. Tántos kilometros reales y metafóricos que hemos recorrido juntos. 

Tantas vivencias, difíciles y felices...Tanta vida, tanta compañía invaluable.   

Tantos años que no te sentás hasta ver adonde me voy a ubicar, que me seguís hasta cuándo me voy a bañar...Que no dormís si no es a los pies de mi cama, que me seguís valla donde valla. 

Pero tu paso está lento y cansado...tus aventuras ya guardadas en el recuerdo...Casi que solo alzado podes subir las escaleras, y todo aquello que antes hacías con tanta vivacidad ha perdido su naturalidad...

            ...Y así te observo, te escribo...y nos preparo.

...Y así ya empecé a extrañarte, teniendo la certeza de que jamas podré olvidarte. 

As We Near Our Final Goodbye

The time is coming we both know, you are getting ready to leave my side, as I am preparing for a life without you. I’ll pack your leashes and seven beds, so as not to see them empty; your leashes hanging still, by your plates unfed. Yet in spite of packing every trace, I can’t bring myself to imagine how our house will feel...drearily missing you and surely incomplete, having lost a huge chunk of its soul. I’ve already begun to feel the hole in my heart where your love will no longer be.

Watching you, throughout countless moments of my day, making sure you’re comfortable in spite of the pain we know you’re in.

Realizing I’ve walked too fast for you to follow & walking back to find you, wherever it was you lost your way. 

Noticing that more than ever before, you want to be as near to me as you can be...Because your home is wherever I am... my warmth, my smell, my heart beat; the only home you’ve ever known. 

As you look at me through those cloudy eyes, you can barely see the heart in mine. I wish I couldn’t hear your plea, but that complicity that we could both once see, can sadly still be felt, and I know that’s what you’re asking of me. My dear, forever friend, I’ll be with you till the end. 

Fourteen years have flown by, a lifetime for you, yet so unfairly short to me. My most loyal companion, beloved soul...oh, so much more than anything I could ever attempt to say. 

You have filled our hearts with endless love and joy, as you stood unconditionally by our sides in every turning of the road, through starry nights and perfect storms. 

I will miss your paw scratching my feet when it’s time to feed, the pitter-patter of your happy feet closely behind mine...Your sweet whine begging me to get out of bed...The way you stole my slippers with your wagging tail, trying to temp me to come out and play…and oh, so much more. 

I know you’ll leave resting sure that you’ve left a paw print on our hearts & souls, and I will look up to the sky & know you’ll be one of those beautiful stars looking down on us. 

You’ll be forever & always in my heart.
