After

Once the thing is over
Once the thing is done
Then you are left with after
That feeling can be either one

You wanted something different
You wanted something more
But instead you got what you got
And that was a great big bore

Or it was exactly right
A wonderfully perfect time
Everything went according to plan
The whole thing was the absolute prime

But either of these outcomes
The thing about after stays true
No matter what happened before
There is nothing now you can do
