The café chairs are upside down
Neon hum fades into town
We stayed too long, now silence speaks
Your breath still lingers on my cheek
Street lamps flicker like they’re unsure
Like us, before we closed the door
Leftover lights on empty floors
Echo your laugh, just like before
We said goodbye but stayed in place
Like shadows scared to lose their space
Even with the music gone
The room still holds our song
Your coat hung where you used to sit
The ashtray holds one cigarette
I left the tab, but not the thought
Of everything we almost caught
There’s dust where your hand used to rest
But that’s the part I miss the best
Leftover lights on empty floors
Echo your laugh, just like before
We said goodbye but stayed in place
Like shadows scared to lose their space
Even with the music gone
The room still holds our song
Maybe someday someone new
Will sit where I once looked at you
But not tonight—just me and ghosts
In this place that held us close
Leftover lights still glow too bright
For a heart not ready to say goodnight
