My Entry: Little Yellow Blanket

My Dearest Friend,

Or so i thought you were my dearest. How have you forgotten about me after all of these years? Your mother chrocheted my soft body into a lovely blanket while you were still in her womb. I waited so patiently, i was made just for you, soon to be bundled in my abundant warmth. The moment i reached you, I cradled you, and you loved me. I was who you wanted when you were cold, when you were sad. My child, you never thought twice. I was your loyal dog, always by your side, your yellow lab, your golden retriever. Now my quiet sunshine is a forgotten yellow. Faded love now shows through my small holes as i ly gently folded in your ancient wooden dresser. Even the old bear sitting atop me recieves a loyal pat on the head every now and then. Do you remember the day that you laid down for bed, draping me across your legs only to find i did not reach your feet anymore. Was it then that you realized i was no longer needed? No, I remember your cry. Your silent tears welled and slipped down your cheek and i caught them. I wiped them away and you pulled me down far and wrapped me under your feet and stretched me up to your shoulders and i hugged you tight. When i hear your cry now, why is not I who you reach for? I miss you. I was yours and you were mine. I cannot take this heartbreak anymore. Knowledge of being forgotten has encrusted my love, my warmth. I need to go, to be with someone who loves me, who i can love and comfort, and befriend as i once befriended you. Though you have forgotten me, I will never forget you. Goodbye long lost love,
