11What secrets does it hold? \
12Can it tell us who kissed Sara \
13that night on the veranda, or \
14who Joey is really in love with? \
15We all know it isn't Sara, we \
16mean look at them Christmas eve \
17and he's staring whistfully \
18at the stars, or the largest \
19asteroid in the asteroid belt. \
20She's staring at him, sure, but \
21she sees the twinkle in his eye \
22is not aimed in her direction. \
23The reflection of that reflection \
24will beam into space, lightyears \
25of space, dimming slowly each \
26second, until it dies out like \
27all of Sara's hopes for something \
28resembling love in this life, real \
29love that takes hold of her by \
30the throat and refuses to let go, \
31love that makes men travel for her \
32and only for her, love that launches \
33space ships to that asteroid, the \
34largest in the asteroid belt, that \
35jewel of dead rock and ice, harboring \
36something that could've been life \
37[and nothing that actually is][].
