Everglow

You left your jacket by the door
I didn’t move it, like before
You said, “Let’s not make this a scene”
But I keep seeing you in every dream
Your cologne still in my sheets
I keep the lights low when I sleep
I don’t call, but I rehearse
Every line I should’ve said first
Did we fall too fast?
Or love too slow?
Either way, we didn’t know
We’re living in the afterglow
Fading warmth we used to know
No more words, no more fight
Just the echo of a goodnight
We’re not what we used to be
But you’re still glowing under me
You touched me like the morning sun
Gone too quick, but not undone
We’re living in the afterglow
Still burning soft, still moving slow
You’re a song I can’t unplay
A light that never fades away
In this afterglow, we stay
