After a While...

I found this cool blog by Muse a while ago, and got captivated by this heart-touching piece. Love it so much, I can't help to repost it. I literally dropped a tear at first, then my eyes were swimming. I think I'm badly heart-broken and this writing gently soothed me...

After a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul.

You learn that love doesn't mean leaning,
and company doesn't mean security.
You begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises.

You begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes open,
with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.

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.

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.

You learn that you really can endure,
that you really are strong.
and you really do have worth,

You learn and learn...
With every good bye you learn.
