I wrote a song for my dog who passed away

Only a dog owner knows what it's like to lose one's furry friend that's been with you since childhood. The pain was almost unbearable when she passed away in early July, but writing this song for her felt like a proper goodbye. Thanks for growing up with me, Sheela, I'm who I am because of you.

"I want you to know"

Thanks for growing up with me
for a childhood full of memories
like how you jumped at me so hard I fell when I stood in the door
and how you licked my face when I lay on the floor

Like the 8 you drew with sprints in the yard
and how you tore the water in the lake apart
and how you used to say you wanted more by giving us your cutest roar
Your wauwauwau will always stay in our hearts

I want you to know
I'm who I am because of you
You gave me so much love that hate could never win
I want you to know
That you will live insede of us
where yours might end, another story will begin
and as you go ascend, brave soul
there's one thing I want you to know
you made this place
a home

Thanks for cuddles in my lowest lows
for every heartbreak's wound you helped me close
When you bit my ear so gently like you wanted to say "I'm here"
before I cried a single tear, you'd know

Chorus

It's like no word I could speak is enough
but I hope you still feel how much you're loved
when you felt my head as i lay lown on your chest
I loved every heartbeat
until the very last
