after a while
After a while you learn from difference,
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 contracts,
and presents aren't promises.
And you accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes open,
with the grace of an adult,
not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads today
because tomorrow's ground
is too uncertain for plans.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns
if you get too much.
So 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.
