Wait for Me Rex

(hummmmm) You used to run ahead of me,

Then turn around to make sure I was there.

Jumping through the morning like you owned the world,

With that happiness only you could wear.

We walked together through the forest,

You were never just a dog to me.

You were my companion,

you were the little soul that walked with me.

And every night you waited by the door,

You wouldn’t sleep until I came back home.

I never knew how much you loved me

Until I had to learn to live without you.

And now every quiet room reminds me Of all the little things

you used to do.

Rex, if there’s another life,

please find me there.

I’ll know you by the way you run,

by the love you always carried everywhere.

And if heaven has a forest,

I’ll meet you where the wild things grow.

You can jump into my arms again,

and I promise I won’t let you go.

Until that day, I’ll hold you in

every memory I have.

And if souls can find each other twice,

I know I’ll find you again.

So wait for me,

Rex… I’ll find you in another life.

I still remember how you missed me

Whenever I had to go away.

You waited for the sound of my footsteps,

As if you’d been counting every day.

You made a home feel like a heartbeat,

You made the silence disappear.

And now the house is still without you,

But somehow I still feel you near.

Maybe love doesn’t disappear

When a heartbeat has to end.

Maybe it becomes a little light That follows you around instead.

Maybe you’re running somewhere beautiful,

With no pain inside your bones.

Thank you for waiting for me.

Thank you for choosing me.

Thank you for loving me

until the end. I’ll find you.

You find me.

And we’ll walk together again.

In another life. (hummm)
