The Consequences of a Desert

Out of billions I stand alone Watching the gift of smiles Float over my head I grasp for a hand But only catch air Others flooded with love Flee from my desert Only one lingers My hands flutter around him Searching for the perfect embrace But he evaporates And condenses far from me However, love blossoms from the distance He fears this passion For being drenched Doesn't belong with the dry But he nudges towards me nonetheless Radiance begins to overflow us Desert sand turns to glass And I am gone, Invisible to his eyes I guess it was just meant to be- That out of billions I stand alone.
