After a while, you learn the subtle differences between holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security
And you begin to learn kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises
And 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 learn to build all your roads on today
Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plan
And futures have a way of falling down in midflight
And 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 stong
And you really do have worth
And you learn and learn....
With every goodbye, you learn...

- I am a crazy gemini with 2 personalities living in a mundane world. It just can't handle my craziness! Intense work of art, forever evolving and moving closer to serene pastures. On an interesting journey but enjoying the ride! Get to know a little about me but leave your judgments at the door and never think you've seen the full picture of who I am! I am yet a paradigm of complex designs that can't be summarized by the readings of a few passages.
