Different days, different ways

as time goes by

I always allowed others to get the better of me until I said 'enough!', because my shoulders could no longer support the weight of the dreams I had deliberately set aside.

So, as time goes by, you understand who you want to keep close; you understand who really deserves your love, and care, because love is sharing, and not giving up, because love is meeting half way in spite of everything.

And I understood these things late, but I did understand them.
