and you learn

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 always mean security.

 

And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts

and presents aren’t promises, and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.

 

And you learn to build all your roads on today

because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans,

and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

 

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, you really are strong, you really do have worth...

 

and you learn

and you learn

with every goodbye, you learn!
