I Love You More Than Words Can Say

Where do I begin? I lost the love of my life seven months ago and I still have a hard time talking about it.
We first met back in 2006, when I just happened to go to the pet store on a Caturday and I just happened to go by the kitties up for adoption. I was actually there for some cat furniture. I had no intention of taking home another cat, but then our eyes met. There he was, only seven months old and already he looked like a big tiger. I had to meet him.
I asked if they could let him out of the kennel and I sat on the floor to give him some space. I barely made it to the ground and he was on me, it was love at first sight. He shared a third of my life and I still can’t believe he is really gone.
I wrote him a love letter for his portrait to lay against. I decided to go with a larger writing, so that I can always read it.
He came to me with the best name, Dunkin, he was as sweet as a donut too. Though sometimes, he was a little donut hole.
I felt like we had reached symbiosis
And now he is gone, I feel lost and aimless without him.
