After a while you learn the subtle difference betweem holding a hand and chaining a soul. You learn that
kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. You learn that loving doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't always
mean security, and you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. After a while you learn to build all your dreams
on today because tomorrows ground is to uncertain for dreams, and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After
a while you learn to accept your defeats with your head held with the grace of a woman and not the grief of a child. After
a while you learn to plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone else to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really are strong, that you really do have self worth, and you can endure, and you learn and learn,
with every "goodbye" you learn
