Afterglow of us

Hook

I keep the memories of us like a melody on play,

soft and sure inside my chest when the world fades away.

Every laugh, every quiet room where your shadow used to fall,

I hold them close like prayers — the sweetest thing of all.

Verse 1

You came in autumn rain, paper cup and crooked grin,

we shared a crooked umbrella and a thousand could-have-beens.

Your laugh lit up my city like a streetlamp in the dark,

we learned the words to one another, both imperfect, both with heart.

Coffee-stained napkins, your name under my thumb,

you said a million little truths, and I believed every one.

Verse 2

Kitchen light at midnight, two songs stitched into one,

the way you’d hum the chorus while the dishes dried and the day was done.

We traced our plans on napkins, ink blurred by honest hands,

promises like paper boats we’d set out on unknown strands.

We fought with trembling voices, then held on like the tide,

and even in those quiet wars I loved you with my eyes.

Verse 3

But the seasons, they kept turning — winter came too fast,

phone calls thinned to echoes of a love that couldn’t last.

You left a sweater on my chair, a whisper in the hall,

I played our silly records just to hear you through the walls.

Sometimes I catch your laughter in the corners of the day,

a radio station playing things that never fade away.

Verse 4

Now when the city sleeps, I walk where we used to go,

counting steps like counting breaths to keep you close and slow.

There’s comfort in the small things — the place your fingers fit,

the way the light fell on your face when morning called your name.

I’m learning how to carry you without breaking in two,

keep your warmth in my palm and let the rest come through.

Outro

So let the evening hush unfold, let the piano play it low,

I’ll keep the afterglow of us wherever I may go.

Not all love means forever — some love is gentle proof,

that something beautiful can linger after the truth.

I keep the memories of us — soft, faithful, and enough,

a quiet, steady chorus that I hum when nights get tough.

Porque music

See you when I see you
