tell me lies"when i see a star,
one that falls
from the sea of
darkness, a ray
of blinding light,
i hope, desperately,
that it's you,
without even looking,
and i don't look and i
don't look and i don't
look, but i wish,
that for one moment,
it was youand i look, finally,
yet it's still
not you"—the us that never happened
