Saturate Me
Summary : "There he was. Standing as a sculpture of the perfect human being. Tucking his unusual chartreuse hair behind his ear. Sewing her eyes to his radiant smile while continuing to study her. Destroying the emptiness she felt minutes ago."

The desert I wander lacks its mirage
There's no mistaking, a barrage
Empty.
That's exactly how she felt that night.
Void in her mind.
Hollow in her heart.
Of sun & wind that tears my skin
Leaving what's without exposing what's within
She couldn't identify what made her feel this way.
Her slender fingers played with the strands of her midnight blue hair.
Her pearl white teeth gently bit into her rose-pink lips.
Her sapphire eyes streamed through the endless sea of people swirling and twirling to the music in the background, enjoying company while she was surrounded by loneliness.
The couples on the dance floor couldn't be happier, just like she couldn't be lonelier.
Forsaken, left here,
In my barren desolate
As she dwelt among her untrodden thoughts, something-or particularly, someone- seemed to have caught the attention of more than a few female guests.
Her curiosity piqued.
Slowly, she turned around, not knowing that a pair of glistening emerald orbs would be there to clash with her sapphire ones.
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me? Won't you saturate me?
Rain down on me with life
There he was.
Standing as a sculpture of the perfect human being.
Tucking his unusual chartreuse hair behind his ear.
Sewing her eyes to his radiant smile while continuing to study her.
Destroying the emptiness she felt minutes ago.
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me? Won't you saturate me?
Storm around me, bring the tide
He came closer unhurriedly, not wanting to break the trance they were both in.
Her heart thumped in her chest.
Her blood rushed to her cheeks.
Her nerves trembled profusely.
But she didn't want him to stop.
And neither did he.
My days stretch long into the heat
As the sun brightens my defeat
My lips are chapped, their parched and dry
My thirst, it builds with every day gone by
Every inch of their distance clouded her mind with impatience.
Impatience to quench her thirst with his love-inundated eyes.
Impatience to feel his cool laughter to the core of her soul.
Forsaken, left here,
In my barren desolate
Inches faded into centimeters.
Centimeters drifted into millimeters.
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me? Won't you saturate me?
Rain down on me with life
He leaned on her shoulder, whispering to her ear, "Do you want to dance with me?"
Hopeful eyes looked up on her and finally she spoke out her answer, "Definitely."
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me? Won't you saturate me?
Storm around me, bring the tide
He lead her to the center of the spotlight with a joyous smile on his face.
His right arm held her narrow waist while his left fingers traced her jawline.
Her right arm rested on his muscular shoulder as her left fingers fondled with the hair on his neck.
To them, this was heaven on earth.
The dunes that shift, drift and lift in the wind
Cover up my hope, as I start to give in
To the cracks and creases and the dips in my will
As I am pushed towards the brink, I drink down air and swill
She couldn't think of anything else.
Anything but his beautiful eyes.
Anything but his gentle smile.
Anything but his cool mint breath.
Anything but this charming lad.
"I don't want to leave you," his smooth words soothed her ears before he pressed his lips to her petal soft ones.
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me? Won't you saturate me?
Rain down on me with life
His mind went blank.
Her heart went sore.
His nerves set on fire.
Her soul felt light.
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me? Won't you saturate me?
Storm around me, bring the tide
Her mother had once told her, "You know dear, God has given us two eyes, two ears, two hands and two feet each, but only one heart. It is because the other heart beats in our soul mate's body. When you find that person, you feel complete."
Those words never meant anything to her before, but now, they make perfect sense.
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me? Won't you saturate me?
Rain down on me with life
He parted, allowing them both to breathe after sending electric shocks throughout their veins.
"I love you," he voiced the phrase she longed to hear.
"I love you too," she contentedly replied, holding him close to her so he could never leave her.
Then, she knew, why she felt empty before.
She hadn't experienced love.
