Sidekick


Ben.
He's been on my mind...a lot.
He's been my sidekick now for 6+ years.
Hard to think that someday he won't be.
I know that my time with him is getting shorter.
It's just a feeling that I have.
Something that is hard to swallow.
He doesn't sleep well.
That means neither do I.
I'd like to think it's because he's selfish.
He wants more of my time.
He figures at night there is no competition.
He's right.
It's just us.
In the dark.
That's when I talk to him.
He's a good listener.
And someday he'll talk to me.
Then I can repay him the favor.
