After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and sharing a life. And you learn that love doesn't mean possession, and company doesn't mean security. and loneliness is universal. 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 open, with the grace of an adult and not the grief of a child, And you learn to build your hopes on today as the future has a way of falling apart in mid-flight because tomorrow's ground can be too uncertain for plans, yet each step taken in a new direction creates a path toward the promise of a brighter dawn. And you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much so you plant your own garden and nourish your own soul instead if waiting for someone to bring you flowers, And you learn that love, true love, always has joys and sorrows seems ever present yet is never quite the same becoming more than love and less than love so difficult to define. And you learn that through it all you really can endure you really are strong that you do have value and you learn and grow with every goodbye, you learn

with every goodbye, you learn
I think this last is the truest of all, I know it has been for me.

What can I say about this one, I dont think there is really a lot to add, except that in a way Ive learnt to treasure my goodbyes. Saying goodby to a friend means that you have had a friend to say goodby to. It means that you have a treasure trove of happy timesand good memories, stored where no thief can ever steal them (even though sometimes we cant recall them there always there). I believe that our friend and loved ones never truely leave us as long as we have them in our hearts.
