Updated Story on Bristol

Here are the updates and revisions I made today on my story about Bristol:

It began with your picture, one glance and I knew
That it would be I who would come rescue you

I gasped when I met you; you were all skin and bone
I was scared and I wondered “can I do this alone?”

Not knowing what to expect became quite a fear
But I knew I would always want you to be near

Our life without each other we left far in the dust
And getting to know you became my first must

Those first months together we were two of a kind
Wherever I went you were trailing behind

I discovered you trembled when greeting new folks
You did not like children and it became a big joke

I loved taking road trips; you were up for the ride
Destination did not matter with you by my side

You taught me what it means to be a best friend
And I assured you I’d love you to your very end

When I think of existing without you I pause and I cry
Who will lick my tears and lay with me whenever you die?

I’ve bargained and I’ve begged you to live until I reach thirty
Or stay with me until I have a child and you two can get dirty

With six years together I’ve had time to think
You’ve watched me grow up and work out my kinks

I am sure we have many more years to frolic and play
Just know my love grows for you more every day
