Euripidis...

Euripidis...

I look up and you are not there.
How strange... 
Bizarre.
Upon coming back from work,
You were the first thing I looked at,
shouting hello Euripidi!
Taking my shower,
Then immediately placing you in my arms,
Spraying you with water.
Feeding you your crickets.
How strange not to have you around,
How empty.
My companion,
My friend,
My pal.
Keeping each other company wherever I went,
Never failing to crawl to your favorite spot-
My hair.
So gentle...
Loving.
I sure will miss you.
You were my companion through rough times,
My light.
Thank you for being my companion,
Thank you for being my friend.
