I.
I don’t know if you would
Have made me happy
But your absence
Makes me sad
We’ll never know if you would have
Been my favorite
Toy of all
I didn’t wake up early enough
To enter the online shop
Before
You had sold out
Oh, soft and colorful one
Small and huggable one
We’ll never know
II.
Ah the feeling of peace
Complete and profound
When I did wake in time
The preorder email in my inbox proclaims
You are mine
Another email will come
When the time comes
For you to ship to me
And make your way home
