I guess I always knew that you would save me. I took you in to save your life and now, you're saving mine.
And now, you brush up against the sole of my foot, your tail soft like a caress. I catch you up and hold you close and kiss your little face and tell you I love you.
And then I let you go.
And when you feel like it, when I'm not looking, you jump up on the bed, and press up against me.
And in my sleep I breathe easier because I feel companioned.
I saved you from dying of starvation or being chucked in a village already overflowing with strays. I saved you and fed you and cleaned your litter and stroked you when you let me.
I saved you.
And now you save me.
