You haunt me in my ephialtes

My eyes can't stop flickering in your direction,
You're a stranger whose laugh captures my attention
This wasn't our time, but I still want you to be mine
Because it was you all along, and I'm defenceless in front of the stars
The universe pays no heed to my begging, my watery eyes shining in the dark
But if I had a genie, I'd only wish for my ghost of the past.
