永远的龙鱼

还记得带你回家的第一天...
那种喜悦我永远都不会忘记...
记得我们一起走过的日子...
那站在你面前数小时...
望着你那优美的泳姿...
欣赏着你而望了时间的日子....

一天天看着你的成长...
是我生命中的一大乐趣 ...
我们不知到一起度过了多少个年头...
为你担心为你忧...
当你病的时后...
我为你焦急...
当你吃不下的时后...
我也何尝吃的好...
因为我门以成为最好的朋友...

你要离去的那天终于来了...
我用尽我所有的努力去挽回...
也无法将你留下...
你一定也尝试过...
因为从你的眼里...
我看见了你的不舍得...

虽然你以经不在了...
但你以然活在我门的心里...
就让我用笔把你永远永远留在我门的脑海里

Forever my Dragon

I still remember the day I brought you home
I will never forget that sense of joy and hope
As I reminiscence in those days past
Those hours spent gazing at you
Held captive by your grace and majesty
How quickly did those moments fly by

Getting all excited about you
As you blossomed day by day
Became the highlight of my life
I lost track of how much time we spent together
But there were also trying moments
Worrying about you when you fell ill
And getting anxious over your lack of appetite
We had become so intertwined
That I would become distraught
Whenever you were less than well

A day finally came when you had to say goodbye
Despite my best efforts, and my heartfelt pleas
I was unable to keep you by my side
But, you must have understood how I felt
Because I saw in your eyes
That same reluctance to let me go
It was as though you were asking me
“Would you love me for the rest of my life?”
“No,” I answered, “I will love you for the rest of mine.”

Though you are no longer here with me
Your memory lives on in my heart
Then allow me, my Friend
As I pen out your legacy
That I may behold you in my memory
All the days of my life
