Chalk dust on the windowsill, the sunset dances soft
Your laugh lines rain on the edge of my notebook
After-school orange, tracing time with my fingers
Locker secrets, the rusty click of a key
More important than test scores are the faces we know
Sharing frustration, warming it in our palms
“Everything’s fine,” words I couldn’t say, trapped in my throat
Right before the bell, the world turns golden
Golden classroom, shadows side by side
Good-bye bell, don’t ring just yet
Crying faces, laughing faces, drawn on the board
Even if erased, they linger—afterglow
Surely, always, gently
Stacked schoolbags, faded calendars
Whispered signs, a sigh of farewell
Dust mixes with heartbeat
Afterglow, overflow, over and over
Wishes like thin film, smudged by fingerprints
Mistakes and miracles reflected in mirrors
Patchwork maps we drew as a team
“See you” takes us to the city, forward, straight (Yeah)
March, only desk doodles remain
Unsent drafts sleep in pockets
Time capsules buried in the schoolyard, maps of our hearts
Sneaker tracks leading to the station
Even if we choose different trains
The wind on the platform smells the same
Your “Hey, you okay?” lights up my notifications
Let’s replay it all, back to that golden moment
Golden classroom, even if not in the same place
In each of our cities, let’s line up our shadows
Sadness and joy, shared evenly with you
Even if erased, it remains—afterglow
Golden classroom, still in my heart
Good-bye bell, no longer scary
Crying faces, laughing faces, adding them to tomorrow
The light that won’t fade—afterglow
Surely, always, gently (Always)
