Today I remembered this poem that touched my soul in the past...


In time you learn

by Jorge Luis Borges

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 your 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 you plant your 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

that you really are valuable,
man and learn and learn ...
and learn every day

With time you learn that if u like to stay with
someone that gives you a good future,
means that sooner or later you will want to go back to the past.

With time you understand that only one who is able to love you with your faults
without trying to change you,
can bring all the happiness you want.
You realize that you're time with this person just to accompany your loneliness,
inexorably you get to not want to see.

With time you understand that true friends are counted,
and as one who does not fight for them
sooner or later will be seen surrounded by false friends.

With time you learn that words said in a moment of anger,
the rest of your life may continue to harm the injured.

With time you learn that the excuse is something anyone can do,
but forget that, it's something that just really big hearts can do.

With time you understand that if you seriously hurt a friend
it is very likely that his friendship will never be at the same intensity.

In time you realize that although
You can be happy with your friends,
one day you will cry
after those you have let them go.

In time you realize that every experience lived with each being,
will never happen again.

In time you realize who humiliate and despise a human being
sooner or later will suffer the same
humiliation and contempt, but multiplied square.

With time you hurry or forcing things to happen,
This will result in finally
they will not be as expected.

In time you realize that in reality
was not the best future
but when you are living right at the moment.

With time you will see that although you feel happy with who you are circumcised,
you will miss the ones who were with you yesterday
and went and now they are no longer ...

With time you will learn that trying to forgive or
apologize,
say you love, you mean you miss,
to say that you need
to say that you want to be friend
before a grave
doesn't make any sense.

But unfortunately,
just in time you learn all ...
