a young couple, madly in love with each other sit on a roof to watch the stars.
the woman turns to the man, and says with a smile,
"what am i to you?"
expecting the man to reply with something sweet or simple, she is surprised when he responds with,
"water."
when asked what he meant, the man delves into explanation.
"sometimes you satisfy my thirst perfectly, but
other times, you can't help but
drown me."
