Nala

This is my dog Nala,

she's my best friend.

I met her when I needed something good in my life,

and she was the best thing that came into it.

I went through quarantine with her,

and our bond strengthened.

When schools reopened and I went back,

she'd always be waiting for me at the door when I came back.

Her jumping in my arms and being happy to see me

would always raise my mood no matter what type of day I had.

She saved me through a very hard time. 

I promised we'd always stay together,

Then we moved houses and she couldn't come with us.

Nala doesn't know our new lease said we couldn't bring any pets.

She knows her best friend in the world wasn't there for her when she needed it.

She doesn't know that she's different,

She only knows that her family left her.
