Owi

To my Owi,

Five months na, anak. And I still catch myself wishing you were here.

Sometimes, I look at the places where you used to sleep, and for a moment, I imagine you’re still there. I miss the little things about you — even the things I used to find ordinary. I never knew that one day, those little moments would become the things I’d wish I could have back.

I hope you knew how much I loved you. I hope you never felt alone, never doubted that you were wanted, and always felt safe with me.

I wish I could have one more day with you. Not for anything special. I just want to see you again, call your name, watch you walk around, and hold you a little longer. This time, I’d be more careful about letting go.

I know you’re only a part of my life, but I was your whole world. And I hope I gave you a life full of love, even if it wasn’t long enough for me.

I’m still not used to a world where I can’t find you anymore.

I miss you, Owi. I would give anything to come home and find you there again.

You were never just a cat. You were my baby. And no matter how much time passes, a part of me will always be waiting for you.
