[Larry Robinson]

Until 

Your story is not my story.
Your dog is not my dog.
You loved your dog.
He was the best dog in your world.
I loved my dog.
He was the best dog in my world.

We grew old.
I had to keep living.
He wouldn’t know what to do without me.
I had to keep living so he would keep living.
That’s how it was.

Suddenly he grew old faster.
As did I.
One day he just laid down and died.
As did I.

My dog is not your dog.
Still, your story is not my story.

Until it is.
