still very moved by Scamp’s gift for her. “This is so wonderful. This is the most wonderful moment of my life. You really are the sweetest, gentlest and decent canine I have ever known. Is it true that we are going to be forever?” She asked this is a hopeful tone.

“I give you my word, Angel.” Scamp began, pulling out his iPad again and going through the songs in iTunes. “I am going to be here for and with you until it is our time to go. You are the one and I am never going to let you go. I said that I loved you…but I lied...because this is more than love I feel inside. It could never ever feel so strong.” He used these lyrics from the very song that he was about to play on iTunes: Michael Bolton’s Said I Loved You…But I Lied:

You are the candle, loves the flame
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Till the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shining like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
 

[Chorus]
Said I loved you but I lied
cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied

With all my soul I’ve tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I’ve found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one

[Chorus]

You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shining like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

[Chorus]

Said I loved you
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you....but I lied

As the song finished, Scamp handed the pink and white peonies arrangement to Angel. She looked at the colours of the flowers and admired the feeling of love that they symbolized. At the same time, hearing the words of deep love in the song that was just played made her realize again how much being with Scamp meant to her.

She then came up and tightly embraced Scamp in a deep way of saying ‘thank you’. Scamp returned it so greatly as if he had never done so before; not even with his own family.

“I love you, Scamp.” Angel said quietly, sniffling through a light sob of happiness. “Can we please hold each other for the rest of our lives?”

“That’s my plan.” Scamp replied, looking into her eyes after the big embrace.

Their lips moved toward each other again and began a long loving kiss. Behind them, the early morning light was shining on their love heart tree, indicating that the dawn of their everlasting love had just begun.
