After a while...

After a while...
U learn that love doesn't mean learning,
And company doesn't mean security,
And u learn that kisses ain't contracts,
And presents ain't promises,
And u begin to accept your defects,
With your heads up and eyes open,
With the grace of an adult,
Not the grief of a child,
And u learn to build your road for today,
Cos tomorrow's road is too uncertain.

After a while...
U learn that sunshine burns if u get too much,
So plant your garden and decorate your soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to give u flowers,
Learn that u really endure,
That u are strong.
