In the hush of a fading dream
I hold a promise, pale and frayed
Once, the stars lived in my eyes
Now they sleep behind the shade
Every step remembers light
Every road forgets my name
Laughter, softened by the rain
Turns into a distant flame
If wishes break before they bloom
If dawn is only borrowed blue
Still, somewhere in this ruined room
I keep a little sky for you
Even if the world comes undone
Even if our prayers turn to dust
I will guard the warmth we found
This quiet, wounded kind of trust
When the night begins to swallow
All the tears I tried to hide
I will make them small blue lanterns
And leave them burning at your side
Friends I thought would never fade
Vanished with the morning mist
In the Grief Seed's sleeping glass
I saw the fate I almost kissed
Not a curse, and not salvation
Not the truth I used to seek
Only love, misshaped and trembling
Learning how to stay, though weak
If the story loses meaning
If the moon forgets her face
I will trace your name in silence
On the edge of empty space
Even if the world comes undone
Even if our prayers turn to dust
I will guard the warmth we found
This quiet, wounded kind of trust
When the night begins to swallow
All the tears I tried to hide
I will make them small blue lanterns
And leave them burning at your side
I no longer ask for miracles
I no longer beg the stars
I just want this broken heartbeat
To remember who we are
If tomorrow never reaches us
If the sky forgets its hue
Let this vow, in cosmic sorrow
Be the last light I leave you
Even as my dream falls silent
Even as my hands lose touch
I will keep one flower blooming
From the grief that loved too much
In this realm of shattered wishes
I will walk the ruins through
With every breath my soul can borrow
I paint tomorrow soft and blue
