Write from the perspective of a family puppy adapting to a newborn baby coming home for the first time.
Gone
I miss you
You’re one of my best friends I hope you know that
You stood with me in the chained cells that they imprisoned us both to
Even freed we never unlocked the chains connecting us
I know this sounds stupid and cheesy
But you ghosted me
You’re like an older brother and you left me
I need you and you left
You always have the answers why do you always have the answers
I’m sure if I got in trouble you’d be there
But I want you as more than a brother I want you as a friend
Not just the guy saying he’s going to throw rocks through my exs window or the guy who lets me vent but the guy I can laugh with and the guy who can talk to me
You can talk to me I swear
I know you think I’m young and dumb, and sure I am but I want to help you, please let me
We used to have so much fun but now it’s only when I need you
And god I need you, just not as a guardian but as a companion
