More Than A Soft Toy

I'm still not clear on how you 
came to me, but since 
I can remember, 
you've always been here.

My clothes were too big for you, 
but you didn't care, 
and even though you had no life, 
I felt that when 
I was with you, my soul vibrated.

With you, I escaped from my ordinary world
 to live adventures in your extraordinary world. 
With you, everything was different; 
I didn't feel alone, and even though 
you didn't say a word, 
I could talk to you for hours.

There were countless nights 
that I no longer spent in solitude, 
and although I had no friends, 
you counted for a thousand more.

The years went by, and I developed, 
and my love for you evolved;
 in any of my plans, you were 
the first one I told, 
and in my most disturbing nightmares, 
you were the first who comforted me.

And before going to bed 
I always looked for you Because 
if one day you were missing 
from my bed my soul
 in agony cried for you.

You are more than a doll, 
you are my best friend,
 that guardian angel that 
God sent me to be with me.
