She says, “I love you Button.”
I say, “You’re like the end of a good day.”

She smiles playfully when I say this
and asks, “The agreeable parts,
or something else?”
“No silly, the good things.”, I reply

“It’s your heartbreak for the dog
that appeared to be a stray,
and the relief you felt
when the owner finally came along
that makes it that way.”
