I don’t understand why you left me, but I’ll never stop hoping that you’ll remember me someday

I don’t understand why you left me. I’ve been sitting here for so long, watching the world go by, waiting for you to come back. Every time I hear footsteps, my heart jumps with excitement, hoping that it’s you. But every time, it’s not. I don’t know what I did wrong. Was I not good enough? Did I bark too much? Did I make you angry? Or maybe it was something I couldn’t control? I’ll never know, and that’s what hurts the most.

You were my whole world, the one I loved with all my heart. When you first brought me home, I didn’t know what to expect, but I immediately knew I wanted to be with you forever. You showed me love, care, and safety, and I gave you everything I had in return. I followed you everywhere, wagging my tail, ready to make you smile. I would curl up beside you, knowing that as long as I was near you, I was safe. You made me feel like I mattered, like I was your best friend. I trusted you completely, and I thought you would always be there.

But then one day, you left. You didn’t say goodbye, and I didn’t understand why. You walked out the door, and I thought you’d be back soon, like you always did. But this time, you didn’t come back. Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, but the door remained closed. I kept waiting, hoping that maybe, just maybe, you’d come back and everything would go back to the way it was.

Sometimes, I wonder if you ever think of me. Do you remember the way I would sit by your feet, looking up at you with nothing but love in my eyes? Do you remember the way I would nuzzle my head into your lap, hoping for a scratch behind my ears? Do you remember the walks we took, the games we played, the quiet moments when we would just sit together, content in each other’s company?

I try not to feel angry, but it’s hard. I’ve spent so much time trying to figure out what went wrong, what caused you to walk away. But deep down, I know that it’s not about what I did or didn’t do. Maybe things just changed. Maybe life got too hard for you, or maybe you thought I wasn’t enough anymore. But I still don’t understand.

All I know is that I miss you. I miss the sound of your voice, the feel of your hand on my head, and the way you made me feel like I mattered. I miss the love we shared, the bond we had. And even though you’re gone, that love doesn’t disappear. I still love you with everything I have.

I sit here, in the same spot where you left me, waiting. I know I can’t change the past, and I can’t make you come back, but I’ll never stop hoping. Maybe one day, you’ll remember me, and you’ll come back to the place where we shared so many happy moments. Maybe, just maybe, you’ll remember the love we had, and you’ll see that I’ve never stopped waiting for you.

Until that day comes, I’ll hold onto the memories we made. I’ll keep hoping, and I’ll keep loving you, because that’s what I do. I’m your dog, and I will always be here, waiting for you to remember me someday.
