I've learned ~ Bob

I've learned-
that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is be someone who can be loved.
The rest is up to them.

I've learned-
that no matter how much I care,
some people just don't care back.

I've learned-
that it takes years to build up trust,
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-
that you can get by on charm for about fifteen
minutes.
After that, you'd better know something.

I've learned-
that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best
others can do.

I've learned-
that you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.
