Can you see it? Can you see those black beady eyes staring out at you? Can you see how empty and objective they are? They would never judge me, and they would never ever judge you. These eyes in themselves are secrets, they hide away the emotions so deep inside. 1
Do you see his ears? Forever perked up and eternally listening. You can press them flat against his face, but you know he still hears you. He hears every word you tell him and never lets it out. 2
Look at his funny, upturned lips. They are completely sealed. He may never tell you anything, but there is not always a need for words. Confide in him, for he hears, and he refuses to tell a soul. His lips delicately sewn together, encased tightly in a smile.3
Stare at his arms outstretched, reaching for a hug. He loves you every second, every minute and every hour. They welcome you and make you smile, even if just for a while. Embrace him warmly, revel in his kind loving. No matter how much you wrong him, he will always be open to you.4
Run your fingers over his soft, soft skin. Let every bit of him be treasured. Cradle him tenderly in your arms, send a smile back too. Everyone one of us needs uplifting, once in a while. Pour out your bucket of troubles to him, he can keep it to himself. 5
Do you love that dirty old teddy bear, though he may be aging? Do you love that aging teddy bear, though he has stuffing peeking out? Do you so love that broken teddy bear, as much as he loves you?

AWESOME:)
Your teddybear was realistic and reading it I could really sympathise with the darling old thing. I loved it
Hope you win yozzz.

I particularly enjoyed the fact that you have written this piece in second person - it really involves the reader and draws them into the piece. I 'clued on' to the fact that it was a teddy bear about halfway through, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the piece. I liked that you gave this teddy bear personality and empathy - even though it is lifeless.

Yes I do love my teddy bear! I like this story because at first i thought you were perhaps talking about a pet, such as a dog, but as soon as I discovered it was a teddy I was more than please. I've had my teddy-monkey for ten years and nothing could make me give him up!
However, before I can slam you into my finalists list... you need to let me know who else's story you have commented on, or else I'm afraid I will have to disqualify you and I'd hate to do that. -
