你會懂得 After a While……
佚名/Anonymous
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 company doesn't mean security.
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 eyes open,
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 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 learn
With every goodbye you learn, you relieve……
你很快就會懂得，
握住一隻手與鎖住一顆心，
之間有著精妙的差異；
你懂得愛並非依賴，
有陪伴並非就安全。
你會懂得親吻並非契約，
禮物也非承諾；
失戀的痛苦你也開始能夠承受。
昂起你的頭，睜開你的眼，
展現你女人的風姿綽約，而非孩子般的憂鬱無助。
你該清楚，
應該在今天鋪設自己所有的路。
因為明天充滿了太多的變數，很難規劃，
且未來總會出其不意地出現在我們麵前。
你很快就會懂得，
若擁有太多的陽光，也會使人灼傷；
因此要培植自己的花園，美化自己的心靈，
而不要靜待別人把鮮花送至你手。
你會懂得自己確實很有耐力……
自己的確很堅強，
