After You Said Goodnight

Streetlights hum a lullaby

Footsteps soft under moonlit sky

Your perfume lingers in the air

Like you’re still somehow standing there

I don’t say much, but I feel it all

The way your laughter seems to call

After you said goodnight, I’m walking slow

The night feels warm, the breeze feels low

Every echo sounds like your name

Every shadow’s part of our flame

And though we’ve parted for the night

You’re still with me in this light

Phone still glows with your last text

“Sweet dreams” and now I can’t rest

Replaying smiles, the things we said

Like starlight looping in my head

I don’t need much, just this street

Where your goodbye and I still meet

After you said goodnight, I’m walking slow

The night feels warm, the breeze feels low

Every echo sounds like your name

Every shadow’s part of our flame

And though we’ve parted for the night

You’re still with me in this light

The world is quiet, but I’m not alone

Cause pieces of you are leading me home

After you said goodnight, I’m drifting free

But your voice is still here next to me

And even if the stars fade out of sight

I’ll remember us in this silver night
