In all the Excitement...

I need someone that I can trust to lean against and keep me warm. I need someone who'll hold my neck and bring me ibuprofen when I'm too stubborn. I need someone to collapse into and lose my strength to and be sick and be helpless around. I can do a lot, but I can't do it all, and I certainly can't do this alone. I need a solid suit of armor with warm, soft insides where I can hide away and be small in the dark. I need a coconut boat and a teddy bear skipper to take me away to a sea of sleep and dreams.
