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

i loved the little prince book,
although as my memory serves me, i didnt understand it before,
much like so many of us dont understand the boa constrictor engulfing an elephant that looks like a hat!

either you get it or you dont,
love it or leave it,
