Only After It's Over

Why is it That when the story ends We begin to feel it all? That only after we read the last line Our hearts start to ache, we finally understand why She said what she said and why he cried Why they smiled at the end when they found out he died Why the sky was pitch black in the middle of the day Why leaves were falling in the middle of May. For when it is all finished, You'll realise it was something more, other than the dismay.
