The air was still, you looked away
Like dust caught in the light of day
Your coffee cooled, the silence stayed
But neither of us had words to say
Every second stretched too long
Like a memory playing wrong
We were floating in the afternoon
Trying not to end too soon
Our shadows fell, but hearts still bloomed
Like dust that dances in a room
You smiled faintly, said you're fine
But the echo cracked between the lines
I watched the sky in quiet ache
The weight of things we couldn’t fake
In that stillness, I could see
What we were and couldn’t be
We were floating in the afternoon
Trying not to end too soon
Our shadows fell, but hearts still bloomed
Like dust that dances in a room
Maybe some things fade in grace
Like sunlight touching empty space
Still we’re floating in the afternoon
With all we are and all we knew
No words remain, but something true
Like dust that lingers after you
