Your fingers wrap my long neck.
You hold me close.
I nuzzle your jaw.
I feel hollow inside,
but touch me, stroke me,
and hear me sing.

(First attempt at a riddle, so let me know if there aren't enough clues and I'll put some more in!)

I'm quite sure I know it but I'll let the others have some time to think! A very nice riddle by the way!

A strange riddle, but yes, still neatly put! I missed the last round, so will take a stab at, with….

A toothbrush?

No, I wasn't thinking of a toothbrush, but that fits quite well! It's actually something vaguely Sherlock-related.

I travel the world and am never still.
You don't always greet me but know me by sight.
I have always arrived and always will,
After the darkness, before the light.

Moon?

You are thinking on the right lines! But not exactly .

Dawn!

Yes, Besleybean!

What? Why? How? What's the point? And why bother?

aka the meaning of life.

(just answered me own riddle)

Sorry guys, I then very inconveniently fell ill with a sickness bug and was bedridden all day!
So, a new one?(I'm rubbish at this!)
Ok an easy one, seeing as I'm still fragile: what do most people cheer about when thry lose it?

**Posted by Liberty** July 16, 2014 5:30 pm

I don't know if it's the answer, but I know what I'm always happy to lose - weight!

I hope you're feeling better soon.

Wild guess: a sickness?

**Posted by besleybean** July 16, 2014 5:49 pm

Liberty wins!

**Posted by Liberty** July 16, 2014 6:44 pm

At first we might want it to be bigger,
Then we wish it was smaller,
Some people lie about the size!
But no matter what, it keeps growing!

Age?

Yes!
