Chest of Wishes

You came quietly, like someone who knows the way at night In your hands - my old chest where my days are hidden Inside - letters, our dreams, and a light that barely burned I counted every word I never said back then Take my chest of wishes, but know - you will leave with me Take everything you ask for, just don't ask me to come back home I'll give you the stars, but the price is emptiness and calm Take my chest of wishes, but know - you will leave with me Remember how we laughed, and the night felt far too small Now on the lid a moon's trace and a single map of roads You want to be free - and I won't hold your step It's cold on the windowsill where our fear once lived Take my chest of wishes, but know - you will leave with me Take everything you ask for, just don't ask me to come back home I'll give you the stars, but the price is emptiness and calm Take my chest of wishes, but know - you will leave with me
