[REFLECTION]

With time you learn the subtle
Difference there is between taking
Someone's hand and enslaving a soul.
And you learn that love does not
Mean supporting yourself on someone
And that having someone's company
Does not mean having security.
And you start to understand that
Their kisses aren't necessarily contracts
Nor are they gifts
Nor are they promises.
And you start to accept your flaws
With your head held high
Eyes wide open
Your posture like that of an adult
Not with your face scrunched up like that of a child.
And you learn to build All of your roads in the now
Because the road towards Tomorrow is much to uncertain to make plans.
With time you learn that also
The nice rays of the sun burn
If you expose yourself too much too them.
Too much.
In the meantime plant your own garden
To decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to take you flowers.
And that way you'll learn that in reality
You can bear it all...
That in truth you are strong.
And in reality you are worth more than you imagine.
