All you can do is be someone who can be loved.

The rest is up to them.

that no matter how much I care,

some people just don't care back.

and only seconds to destroy it.

I've learned-

that it's not what you have in your life

but who you have in your life that counts.

I've learned-

fifteen minutes.

After that, you'd better know something.

yourself to the best others can do.

with kind words every time you see them.

a relationship is at first, the passion fades

you the way you want them to doesn't

what types of experiences you've had

and what you've learned from them

birthdays you've celebrated.

I've learned-

It may seem funny, but people you aren't

related to can take care of you and love you

that no matter how good a friend is,

they're going to hurt you every once in a while

and you must forgive them for that.

hours by people who don't even know you
