I need you.

I sink.
Sometimes.
I think that
Someday someone from somewhere
Will grab my hand
Pull me up again.
Because as proud as I am.
I need you.
As tall as I stand
I need you.

I fall.
Occasionally.
I have faults and mistakes
That show on my skin
But you don’t pay any attention to them.
Because your skin mirrors my own
And that is exactly why
I need you.
