A heart healed by paws

It began with a video,
A poodle, vast eyes brimming with love,
A mouth that bloomed in radiant smiles—
Everything I dreamed a pet could be,
In a moment, you began to heal my soul.

Sawol.
A name etched in my heart’s quiet core,
A name I never thought I’d carry,
Yet now it’s a part of me—
A love for dogs, born in awe,
A respect I never knew I lacked.

But then, the videos ceased,
And silence fell where joy once was.
Now, my heart trembles with each thought of you,
Wondering where you are,
Longing to see you just once more.

Little angel, you left without knowing,
Yet, you changed me—
A piece of my heart forever yours.
In the absence of your smile,
I found a love I never expected.
