After
We should have been opening presents,
We should have been roaring with laughter,
We should have all been celebrating
Instead we were left with after.
After all the heartbreak
After all the tears we wipe away
After all the sleepless nights
We find ourselves here today
Today there should have been cake
Today a party full of people and love
Today we will be raising glasses
To celebrate your 18th up above
