Tables cleared and lights dim low
Barista's gone, just jazz on slow
One warm sip in a quiet sea
And shadows making space for me
Your seat's still there, untouched, alone
It echoes like a dial tone
Coffee after midnight, still and deep
Brewing all the thoughts I keep
Bittersweet and barely warm
Like the way we loved — off-form
Even silence feels complete
When the city's fast asleep
Steam on glass, it fades, it flows
Your name traced where no one knows
I hum a song we used to share
To an empty second chair
And in this hush, I find you near
In every quiet sip, you're here
Coffee after midnight, still and deep
Brewing all the thoughts I keep
Bittersweet and barely warm
Like the way we loved — off-form
Even silence feels complete
When the city's fast asleep
Maybe morning brings release
But I don’t need the peace
Let this moment linger long
Where the memories belong
Coffee after midnight, slow and true
Just the rain and me and you
In this hour, time stands still
Every echo’s soft and real
