After A While You Learn ..

[Zainab]

After a while you learn the subtle difference


between holding a hand and chaining a soul,


and you learn love doesn't mean leaning


and company doesn't mean security


and kisses arent contracts, and presents aren't promises,


and you begin to accept your defeats with the grace


of a woman and not the grief of a child


And you learn to build all your bridges on today


because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans


and futures have a way of falling down in midflight


After a while you learn 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


that you really have worth.


And you learn and learn...


With every goodbye, you learn.
