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 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 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 you really can endure
You really are strong
You really do have worth
And you learn
And you learn
And with every good-bye, you learn.
After A While
