The warmth of your body, nestled into mine
the small weight of contact
a sigh, a stretch
all feels safe
and warm
I’ll keep you close
little life partner
we traveled far together
and you were there for it all
but you’ve journeyed on, your own decision to make
and I feel lost without you
constant companion
lucky day, when I met you
so small and curious, with a soothing purr
I miss your softness, and your spunk
dear friend I carry you still
always in my heart
the sagacious bee
