After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. You learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. You learn that loving doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't always mean security, and you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. After a while you learn to build all your dreams on today because tomorrows ground is to uncertain for dreams, and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while you learn to accept your defeats with your head held with the grace of a woman and not the grief of a child. After a while you learn to plant you own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone else to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really are strong, that you really do have self worth, and you can endure...and you learn and learn - with every "goodbye" you learn.

The worst way to miss someone is to have them standing right next to you and know you can't have them.

It's so hard to say "I love you", and not draw back in tears. Its so hard to know that your not there to help me face my fears. Its so hard to know the phone's at reach, but I cannot hear your voice. Its so hard to see you laughing when I'm crying deep inside. Its so hard to just find feelings and now have to make them hide. Its so hard to live without you, when I need you more then words. I want to scream how much I love you but hold back and not be heard. Its so hard to go to sleep at night when I cannot dream of you. Its so hard to think that you might fall in love with someone new. Its so hard to not start crying when I hear your favorite song. Its so hard to sit and wonder, where did I go wrong? Its so hard to live without you if I only would have known I will never love another, I would rather be alone

Maybe it's because I'm afraid to give up hope. I'm scared that if I give up on you, I'll give up on everything

It's not whether you get knocked down. It's whether you get up again
