~After A While~

After a while u learn
the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul
and u learn that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't always mean security.

And u begin to learn
that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises
and u being able to accept ur defeats
with ur head up and ur eyes ahead
with the grace of a woman,
not the grief of a child
and u learn to build all ur roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
and the futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

After a while u learn
that even sunshine burns
if u get too much
so u plant ur own garden and decorate ur own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring u flowers.

And u learn that u can really endure
u really are strong
u really do have the worth
and u learn
and u learn
with every goodbye, u learn...
