More than a soft toy

More than a soft toy, 
Is a childhood friend of mine, 
He's been here for ten years, 
Maybe even eleven, 
Why do I feel such connection, 
Towards you? 

You've been in most of my memories, 
Grown beside me, 
Is that the reason why? 

When i sang a song for the first time, 
Or when you consoled me in the darkest nights, 
Is it because, i shared my everything with you, 
Even my childhood and heart? 

Oh my dear lovely jaguar,
I still remember when I hugged you while sleeping,
On the day I got you when I was five,
I just want you to know,
I still do this now.

You're my snuggling partner,
My first friend,
And my whole childhood,
My dear friend.
