| 13 | | What secrets does it hold? | ||
| 14 | | Can it tell us who kissed Sara | ||
| 15 | | that night on the veranda, or | ||
| 16 | | who Joey is really in love with? | ||
| 17 | | We all know it isn't Sara, we | ||
| 18 | | mean look at them Christmas eve | ||
| 19 | | and he's staring whistfully | ||
| 20 | | at the stars, or the largest | ||
| 21 | | asteroid in the asteroid belt. | ||
| 22 | | She's staring at him, sure, but | ||
| 23 | | she sees the twinkle in his eye | ||
| 24 | | is not aimed in her direction. | ||
| 25 | | The reflection of that reflection | ||
| 26 | | will beam into space, lightyears | ||
| 27 | | of space, dimming slowly each | ||
| 28 | | second, until it dies out like | ||
| 29 | | all of Sara's hopes for something | ||
| 30 | | resembling love in this life, real | ||
| 31 | | love that takes hold of her by | ||
| 32 | | the throat and refuses to let go, | ||
| 33 | | love that makes men travel for her | ||
| 34 | | and only for her, love that launches | ||
| 35 | | space ships to that asteroid, the | ||
| 36 | | largest in the asteroid belt, that | ||
| 37 | | jewel of dead rock and ice, harboring | ||
| 38 | | something that could've been life | ||
| 39 | | [and nothing that actually is][]. | ||
