silhouette of a girl and a cat
The first time I saw you,
It was quite unexpected,
You hardly emerged and ran away without looking.
The first time I met you,
And I wondered who you were.
I didn’t expect what happened to occur.
That day when you spoke,
My heart jumped out in a flutter,
I couldn’t hear a word,
Like my ears were filled with water.
The next time I saw you,
You flashed a little smile,
Making me grin for quite a while.
I asked who you were,
And if we could be friends…
Only to find you didn’t understand a word I said.
So I laughed it off,
And we met each week.
Flash forward a year later when I took you in.
Finally now I can call you my own,
My own little kitten, as cute as a button,
And a loyal furry friend I hope will never be forgotten.
