That Afternoon · YOMOGHI

Last Time You Smiled

03:58

Midnight folds around these empty rooms
I trace the shape of every word I never used
Your smile still hangs behind my eyes
Like light that never learned to die

I keep the same old silence close
Count the years like broken notes

I remember the last time you smiled at me
That quiet curve that almost set me free
I wear it like a second skin
While everything else has worn so thin
I remember the last time you smiled at me
And I still don’t know how to leave

Decades turn to dust inside these hands
I talk to shadows that don’t understand
The night is soft the night is kind
It lets me keep what time left behind

I smile because the tears ran dry
A long long time before goodbye

I remember the last time you smiled at me
That fragile light no clock could steal
I carry it through every hour
Like some forgotten stubborn flower
I remember the last time you smiled at me
And the rest of the world feels far away

If I could fold one single night
Back into the shape of us again
I’d stay awake until the end
Just to hear you breathe my name

But mornings always come too soon
And memory is a patient wound

I remember the last time you smiled at me
I wear it soft I wear it deep
I sing to someone who can’t hear
And smile so no one sees the tear
I remember the last time you smiled at me
And I will until I disappear

I remember…
I remember…
I remember the last time…
