And You Learn

I dreamt of the perfect woman..
She has the most beautiful eyes I ever looked into,
A smile that makes my heart melt,
A strength that makes me feel safe when she holds me.
A gorgeous face that makes me want to kiss her,
A sensual voice that makes me weak when she whispers sweet words into my ear.
She has the sensitive personality that makes me wish
I could be in her life forever...

Then I woke up, and she was laying right beside me.

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

And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning.

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises.

And you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes ahead
with grace, not grief... And you learn.

After a while you learn that even sunshine burns
if you get too much.

So you plant your own garden instead of waiting for someone
to bring you flowers.

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

And you learn...

And you learn...

I dreamt of the perfect woman..

A strength that makes me feel safe when she holds me in her arms.
A gorgeous face that makes me want to kiss her,
A sensual voice that makes me weak when she whispers sweet words into my ear.
She has the sensitive personality that makes me wish
I could be in her life forever...
