After a while you learn the subtle differences
between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean learning
and company doesn't mean security,
And you begin to understand that kisses
aren't contracts and presents aren't promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats
with your head held high
and your eyes wide open,
with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.
You learn to build your roads on today
because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans,
and futures have a way of falling down in mid fligh,
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 you really do
have worth
and you learn and learn...and you learn
with every goodbye you learn.
