I kept you as a soft glow inside me
It warmed me on the coldest days
A careful reminder that I was not alone
And if my tears ever dampened you,
I could not tell
In my laughter, you swelled
So effervescent, I wished to dissolve in you.
My closest companion
Warm and true

My inner child, I will spend my days cherishing you.
