I sat in a park at the dead of the night

Instead of a place others call home

I started thinking of you and remembered less

I wanted to remember but memories left like you

Then a dog came around

It was close but not close enough to touch

It started to look for something it wouldn't find

Looked everywhere but couldn't find you

Until it did and sat

It sat across the park from me

We shared a look and it got up

And left because it found you

But I couldn't

I stayed

Still looking
