wishing on a tear

under a moonless night she sits
watching and waiting for a falling star
to wish on, she says, while a tear
escapes her eye, so like a glimmering star
so i wished on that, that someday
she'll see me as a star to wish on
and someone to make her dreams come true
but all she sees are those twinkling rocks
that in reality she can never reach
so while she's waiting for distant things
i brushed away that which i wished on
but another falls, and another, and another
til i realized we're quite alike
wishing for things we can never have...
