Lovelings
Pair with Lovecats by The Cure
The lovelings are the softest of creatures. They are your favorite color. They can be large enough to hold you or so small they fit in your pocket. They have big trusting eyes that reflect you in your best light. They speak your language only bolder and brighter. The way they laugh tickles your spine and warms your heart. They can be skittish. It takes a wide-open mind and infinite patience to bring them into your presence and even more so to make them stay. But they are worth the hard work. So worth it.
