♥; where art thou Leo?
dearest Leo,it's been 23 days since i last saw you. you were sleeping on the garden chairs, so serene, so peaceful.
Mummy Daddy and Angie miss you. i miss you.
things aren't the same at home without you.
i wait at the patio everyday, your favourite SmartHeart food still fresh in that porcelain bowl. i wait by the door every evening, hoping you'd be there to greet me.
you were always there for me, a great friend and companion. you cheer me up by cuddling and purring at my feet. i couldn't ask for a better friend. although sometimes i never appreciated your love, you were so happy to see me but i put you in the washing machine instead. you didn't come home for a week, but eventually you did, because i know you still love me no matter what. i even poured cold water on you while you were having your nap, and yet you were still there for me. when i was studying for my exams, you kept me company and cheered me by sitting on my window-sill all night. i never got the chance to show you how much i appreciated you.
i am sorry i smacked you for peeing on the pantry. you merely wanted my attention.
i am sorry i shaved off your fur when you bit me. i didn't understand feline language.
i am sorry i bit you when you scratched me. i thought it's the only way to communicate with you.
i am sorry i wasn't a very good owner. you were more than just a pet to me.
i don't even know if you're alive now. and you won't be able to read this, nor understand the emotional pain i'm going through.
please come back, Leo. or at least, give me a chance to say goodbye.
i love you.

i dreamt about you last night. i opened the kitchen door and there you were!
i couldn't be more happy, i carried you in my arms and hugged you TIGHT.
..........and then you disappeared.
i guess you came back to say Goodbye.
i'll see you when i get there, fuzzball.
