Little by little, you will learn the subtle difference<\/p>\n
between holding a hand<\/p>\n
and chaining a soul.<\/p>\n
You will learn that love is not leaning on someone,<\/p>\n
and companionship is not a guarantee.<\/p>\n
And you will learn<\/p>\n
that kisses are not contracts,<\/p>\n
and gifts<\/p>\n
do not mean promises.<\/p>\n
You will accept your defeats.<\/p>\n
You will hold your head high,<\/p>\n
with open eyes,<\/p>\n
with a woman\u2019s grace,<\/p>\n
and not with a child\u2019s sorrow.<\/p>\n
And you will learn to build all your roads today,<\/p>\n
because the ground of tomorrow<\/p>\n
is not certain for dreams,<\/p>\n
and the future always holds the possibility<\/p>\n
of falling into the midst of conflict.<\/p>\n
Little by little you learn<\/p>\n
that even sunlight can burn<\/p>\n
if you take too much of it.<\/p>\n
Then you plant your own garden<\/p>\n
and decorate your own soul,<\/p>\n
instead of waiting for someone<\/p>\n
to bring you flowers.<\/p>\n
And you learn that you can endure\u2026<\/p>\n
that you are strong\u2026<\/p>\n
that you are worthy.<\/p>\n
And you learn and learn<\/p>\n
With every goodbye<\/p>\n
you learn.<\/p>\n
