Afterglow

"The world can keep spinning. I clocked out. This part’s mine." Long day finally lets go of me, I don’t rush, I just let it be. Lights stay low, world stays out, Everything quiets, inside and out. No small talk, no energy to spare, Just me and the things I actually care. Time slows down the second I sit, I don’t need much, I just need this. Smoke hangs soft in the air tonight, Thoughts get deep, colors feel right. I fade into the sound, the screen, the page, Whatever I love pulls me out of the day. I’m having a good time, losing myself, Deep in the things I don’t share with anyone else. I’m smoking it slow, I’m smoking a lot, Letting my mind wander wherever it wants. Nothing to prove, nowhere to go, Just staying right here in the afterglow. I don’t count hours, I don’t check calls, Notifications die on the walls. Music loops or the story bends, I forget where I start, forget where I end. Hands feel warm, thoughts feel wide, Every little detail amplified. I chase that feeling, not the noise, Just locked into what I enjoy. Another breath, another drag, Let the weight lift off my back. I’m not escaping, I’m tuning in, This is where I’ve always been. I’m having a good time, losing myself, Deep in the things I don’t share with anyone else. I’m smoking it slow, I’m smoking a lot, Letting my mind wander wherever it wants. Nothing to prove, nowhere to go, Just staying right here in the afterglow. There’s a calm in being exactly where you are, No future plans, no reaching far. Just smoke, and sound, and something you love, And the world feels quiet enough. Yeah, I’m good right now, I don’t need more, Just one more moment, one more draw. If this is all the night’s got, I’m having a good time, I’m having a good time. "I’m not gone. I’m just here. And that’s enough."
