We all have that stuffed animal (or a few) that meant the world to us, and probably still does. If we could just "talk" to them again, we would probably tell them something that goes like this:

I can't help it, but time has swiftly passed, causing me to grow up to leave you behind. Maybe I still keep you close whether it be in my room at home or in my college dorm, but the days of playing with you are long gone. As much as I wish I could be a child again and play with you, I know I have other priorities to tend to.
