'After some time you learn the difference,
The subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining
a soul.
And you learn that 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 promises.
And you begin to accept your defeats and mistakes,
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 the sun burns if you get too much,
And learn that it doesn't matter how much you do care
about,
Some people simply don't care at all.
And you accept that it doesn't matter how good a person is,
She will hurt you once in a while,
And you need to forgive her for that.
You learn that talking can relieve emotional pain.
You discover that it takes several years to build a
relationship based on confidence,
And just a few seconds to destroy it.
And that you can do something just in an instant,
And which you will regret for the rest of your life.
You learn that the true friendships,
Continue to grow even from miles away >>.

Después de algún tiempo aprenderás la diferencia entre dar la mano y socorrer un alma, y aprenderás que amar no significa apoyarse, y que compañía no siempre significa seguridad.
Comenzarás a aceptar tus derrotas con la cabeza erguida y la mirada al frente, con la gracia de un niño y no con la tristeza de un adulto. Aprenderás a construir hoy todos tus caminos, porque el terreno de mañana es incierto para los proyectos, y el futuro tiene la costumbre de caer en el vacío.
Después de un tiempo, aprenderás que el sol quema si te expones demasiado...Aceptarás incluso, que las personas buenas podrían herirte alguna vez y necesitarás perdonarlas. Aprenderás que hablar puede aliviar los dolores del alma. Descubrirás que lleva años construir confianza y apenas unos segundos, destruirla, y que tú también podrás hacer cosas de las que te arrepentirás el resto de tu vida.
Aprenderás que las nuevas amistades continúan creciendo a pesar de la distancia.
