Monday, June 7
i was walking home the other day
late at night, say around 1am
when i turned into this path that leads to my block
there was a cat at the end of the path
it turned and looked at me
and i turned and looked at it
i walked along the path
and it walked towards me
we met somewhere around three quarters of the path
i meowed at it
and it meowed back at me
i continued walking towards my block
and it followed me.
that really melted my heart in a way.
a cat running beside me on a lonely night
a cat that has nobody for company
and seeks company in a human
i stood there, melting emotionally
and the cat weaved between my legs
i sat down
and the cat jumped up
purring and looking at me through those green circular eyes
ive seen it around my block before
and i think it remembers me
because ive meowed at it before too
i dont know if anybody owns it
but its very friendly and tame
and its certainly melted my heart
ive always had a soft spot for cats
ive never been really fond of dogs
i dont know how much time i spent with it
but I just sat there, stood there
patting it, teasing it with a lanyard
the cat lying there in a playful position
melting me all the while
i wondered if it was hungry
"stay there cat, i'll be right back."
and i went up to my flat
hurry i did
but when i came back down, bun in hand
the cat was nowhere to be seen.
i searched the area in vain
across the road
the block next to mine
in the park
the cat was nowhere to be seen.
i miss the cat.
come back cat.
the fact that you remembered me and walked towards me, walked along me late at night will be etched in my mind for a long time to come.
