I remember the days you looked at me as if I was your
greatest hero.
I felt very proud.
But then… things changed.
It wasn’t always like this. We used to be happy. Spent most
of our time together.
I remember…
I used to be the one that first greets you in the morning.
The one that waves “GoodBye” as you leave your home.
The one that waits for you paitently to come home.
The one that eagerly listens about your day.
The one that accompanies you at night.
The one that stands and watches over you until morning comes
again.
But sadly, those days are over.
I just woke up one day and it was as if you have forgotten
about me. Worst, you pretend not to see me while I know you do. It was painful
for me. But still, I stayed by your side.
Things got worst, you now even deny my existence. You tell
your friends that I wasn’t yours. You
even said that you were just being childish that’s why you stayed and kept me.
I was hurt, but I still stayed by your side.
Years passed by and I was still by your side. Ive always been
here. Waiting for you to come and see me again. I was sad, but I was patient,
too.
One day, you came home with a baby in your hand.
I didn’t know how to feel. You looked very happy. So I felt
that I needed to be happy for you.
I was watching you as you played with your baby. You really
have changed. I don’t think you’ll ever notice me ever again.
But I was wrong.
One day as you carried your baby I saw you looking at me. I
instantly felt excited.
“Hi there, old buddy.”, you smiled at me as you dusted me
off.
You then took my hand as you introduced me to your precious.
“Baby, meet my greatest buddy, Teddy.”
I saw your baby smile at me.
I remember that smile many years ago. It was exactly like
yours.
I wanted to cry but I couldn’t.
You placed me beside your little one and looked me in the eye
as you sincerely said.
“Thank you for being a great pal. Now could you play with my
kid like we used to?”
I saw you smile at me again. The one that I've waited all these years.
I don’t know how I did.
But I did it.
I was the first teddy bear who cried.
