A Love Like No Other

It happened too fast

A meeting unplanned, much too soon

No one was ready, we were aghast

As soon as he arrived, just before noon

Gone like that, in a flash

I missed the chance to see him

His handlers swept him away, and in a dash

Leaving me confused, scared, and dim

For his life was in danger

On the edge of the abyss

And in the hands of a stranger

It was hard to dismiss

Our meeting postponed, it wasn't quite right

Now captive in a safe space

Guarded by day, and by night

Under bright lights, a constant race

Of beeping alarms sounding off

Never forget that death is to fear

Blindfolded and silenced , not even a cough

Knowing my scent, he sensed I was near

And hearing my voice , it seemed

He knew it would be alright

Although we just met , but not like I've dreamed

For this is a love like no other, always at first sight

No matter how dire , never give up hope

Even though I could not touch him

A fire that burns deep inside

to hold him, to comfort him,

And yearns to never subside

I would have to wait

He was born too soon

Always will wonder, what is this fate?
