There are reasons why we hold old stuffed animals so dear to our hearts
despite us being too old to take them into bed with us.
Throughout the years they were there when we needed comfort-
soaked all our tears,
took away all our fears,
they were there through most important milestones,
and travelled the world with us.
They kept our deepest, darkest secrets--
never judged, never questioned, never provoked,
it was all unconditional friendship,
the friendship we all wish for today,
that's why when threads fray and limbs fall out,
the heart aches with a nostalgic kind of agony,
for the lost innocence that used to dwell
in the depths of that stuffing
and also in you.
