I know where teddy's gone
the one that collected dust on your shelf
for so long
he grew tired of being chosen last
or not at all
so he let go of the past
and left

now the wild child
who found him has given
more love in their short days together
than you ever did

to think, as the blankets of time
covered the bear
you forgot he was there at all
but he had never forgotten about you
until he did
