~After Awhile~
After awhile you learn
the subtle differences
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 begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes open
with the grace of an adult
not the the grief of a child.
And you learn to build your road on today
because tomorrow's ground is
too uncertain for plans.
After awhile you learn even sunshine
burns when 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 that you really can endure
that you really are strong and
you really do have worth
