Here is a poem that I was given YEARS ago and really hit me. I think this is kinda the "perfect" break up poem for empowerment and for learning, eventually, what is in our hearts. Hope you enjoy {{HUGS}} to all of you out there.
After A While
Author: Veronica A. Shoffstall
After a while
you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't always mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't always promises
and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up
and your eyes ahead with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground
is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
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 really do have worth
and you learn and you learn
with every good-bye you learn.
