Your Dog’s Name

I can still remember

your dog’s name

and that he had one leg shorter

which made him lame.

I can still remember

your favourite song

and how you use to frown

when I sang it wrong.

I can still remember

that small gap in your teeth

and how you would cover

your mouth when we would meet.

I can still remember

the black jacket you wore

and when you got mad

how loudly you swore

I can still remember

what made me fall for you

and I can never forget

you telling me we were through.
