A sea of stars

I hate to admit it, but

I need you.

I need you to need me,

to anchor me,

to remind me

of who I am.

I need you to understand

I am stronger than I look,

and some of that strength

belongs to protecting the few

I trust.

I trust you. 

Mostly.

My friend,

I can not foretell the rosy dawn,

yet do not fear I will will be lost

to the dark,

for I,

I navigate by my own stars.
