I want to remember

I remember when it used to be your fur
that I'd pick off from my clothes

I remember when it used to be you
greeting us by sitting at the door

I remember when it used to be you
walking over us at night and waking us up

I remember when it used to be your purr,
the loud and vibrant one, that we'd hear

I remember when it used to be you snoring
when you slept on the back of the couch

I remember when it used to be you
sleeping on every possible small space or bag

I remember when it used to be you
being best buddies with Mölli

I remember when it used to be you
sharing my ice cream or chips

I remember when it used to be you
holding our heads still when licking our hair

I remember when it used to be you
being a constant loved presence in the house

I remember when it used to be you
but I'm forgetting
