After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and changing 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 may or may not begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead, looking and watching everything and everyone around you… 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. So you plant your own garden instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong and that you really do have worth in you and with every goodbye, you learn. In life, there are things that we don’t want to happen but have to accept. Things we don’t want to know but have to learn, and people we can’t live without, but have to let go of. I don’t know why we all sometimes are scared to lose what we don’t even really have. As much as I don’t want to care, I just can’t help it.
