After a While

After a While
After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand
and chaining a soul.
And you learn that love does not mean leaning
And company does not always mean security
And you begin to learn that kisses are not contracts.
And presents are not promises.
And you begin to accept your defacts
With your head up and your eyes ahead.
With the grace of an adult,not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today
Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain.
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 learn and you learn.
With every goodbye you learn.

 

不久以后
不久以后，你就明白握住一只手
和拴住一颗心的微妙差别。
你会明白，爱不等于依赖，
厮守也并非万无一失。
你也会明白亲吻不是契约，
礼物不是许诺。
你开始接受自己的失败，
昂首挺胸，目视前方，
带着大人的风度，没有小孩的悲伤。
于是你学会围绕今天铺设所有的路，
因为明天的地面太难把握。
不久以后，你就会明白阳光晒多了，也会把人灼伤
因此种自己的花园，拌自己的心情。
而不是等别人给你送来鲜花。
你会明白你真的能忍受，
你真的很坚强，
你真的有价值。
你一次比一次更加明白，
每次说再见，你都有所领悟。

              -----一次次的失恋，带来一次次的领悟，一次次的打击
让自己变得更坚强。失去的去了，却在失去中发现了自我。只有种自己的花园，才能永享一片灿烂。
