Afterglow

⸻

Mmm…

Don’t ruin it with truth now

Just… stay

⸻

I feel your breath before your hands

You love like someone with no plans

One kiss deep, then back to cold

We touch like secrets never told

Eyes like smoke, you blur my name

You like the thrill, not playin’ games

Silk sheets, but no strings attached

You’re here, then gone — and I like it like that

⸻

You don’t ask and I don’t say

What we are just drifts away

Every time you fade, I glow

Some things only live in shadow

⸻

Let’s live in the afterglow

Where nothing’s real but skin and soul

No past, no plans, just ebb and flow

We burn bright, then we let it go

Don’t call it love — don’t break the code

We’re stars that never touch the road

It’s not forever, but it’s known

We only breathe in the afterglow

⸻

Oh-oh, ooh-yeah

We only breathe in the afterglow

Oh-oh, don’t speak

Let your silence pull me close

⸻

You don’t dream of holding hands

You dream of touch and then you vanish

I’m not yours and you’re not mine

But in this room, we realign

We got time, just not forever

You want a night, not ties or letters

I give you what you won’t confess

You give me what I don’t regret

⸻

We don’t ask for morning light

We love in pixels, not in life

If it’s wrong, we’ll never know

’Cause we don’t look — we just let go

⸻

Let’s live in the afterglow

Where nothing’s real but skin and soul

No past, no plans, just ebb and flow

We burn bright, then we let it go

Don’t call it love — don’t break the code

We’re stars that never touch the road

It’s not forever, but it’s known

We only breathe in the afterglow

⸻

Stay quiet, stay near

Don’t ruin this with fear

No labels, no names

Just a body, just a flame

⸻

Let’s live in the afterglow

No one has to ever know

It’s not a lie if it feels true

For tonight, I belong to you

⸻

(We only breathe…)

…in the afterglow

Only where no one goes
