After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul.
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contacts and presents aren’t promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats with your headup and your eyes open with grace of an adult,not grief of a child
And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s grounds is too uncertain for plans.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure that you really are strong and that you really do have worth.
And you learn and learn, with every good-bye you learn.
