~~~~~~***Comes the Dawn***~~~~~~

After a while you learn the 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 understand that kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises.
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head held high and your eyes open...
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.
You learn to build your roads on today, because tomorrow's ground
Is far too 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 that you really can endure
That you really are strong
And you really do have worth
And you learn and learn...and you learn
With every goodbye you learn.
