Wildcat
Sure, you can go out and catch a wildcat
And bring it home and call it a pet,
But it will never really be yours
And it will never be tamed
You’ll only ever be able to trust it
To be unpredictable because
It is not a pet, it will always be
Unpredictable and wild and beautiful
And that is what she was, a wildcat
And I called her mine for a little while
Before I set her free
And bring it home and call it a pet,
But it will never really be yours
And it will never be tamed
You’ll only ever be able to trust it
To be unpredictable because
It is not a pet, it will always be
Unpredictable and wild and beautiful
And that is what she was, a wildcat
And I called her mine for a little while
Before I set her free

Author's Note
Everytime I ever finished talking to her on the phone I always said out loud, "This woman will be the death of me." after I hung up. She was that kind of woman.
