Can not hold the tears
it just flowed like a mist
that wet my eyes with pain
as I lost someone very special

My pet Candy died
a shitzu dog quite rare
cost me twenty thousand
yet not the money why I cried

She had been my buddy
who greeted me everyday

the moment I came from work
she jumped over to my motorbike

She barked to say 'I love you'
or perhaps to thank me too
for caring her as my sister
when we slept together

Now is is gone
no more to hug
when I am lonely
Candy, I miss you!
