Reverb After You

After you left, the room rang out even longer

Only aftersound spread between the stopped breaths

A noise slower than words climbed down the walls

Seeping quietly into every place I emptied

No one is here tonight, yet you are clearer than ever

Even silence shakes me loudly

I remain inside the reverb after you

A night that rings longer than finished love

The vanished scenes rise again as sound

Circling long above the ceiling of my heart

Waterlight in an empty cup, a window that won't open

Your breath overlaps at the edge of late dawn

Words I never held scatter into fragments

And sound louder in the damp darkness

The resonance that returns the more I try to forget

Stretches the night inside me again

I remain inside the reverb after you

You are the one who doesn't stop even with my eyes closed

Like a waveform settling over a broken heart

You keep shaking through me without end

Farewell is over, but the sound is not

So I still cannot leave that room

If the final form of love is aftersound

Then you will echo in me forever

I remain inside the reverb after you

Trembling like a note that never disappears

Even a finished love can become a song

So till the end, I'll keep listening to you
