Pick me up and drink me down.

You don't need me to be the force that keeps you awake;
you have coffee for that.
You don't need me to be your calm before every storm;
tea will do the trick.
You don't need me to be the sudden burn in your throat reminding you that pain will always come before relief;
alcohol will do just fine.
But darling, tell me that I'll be your tall glass of water on an irritably humid summer day; the only one that can satiate your thirst, the only one that will hydrate your body and liven up your spirits, the only one you'll constantly need and cannot live without.
