I remember forgiving

I never thought I would or could

I fought against it while time passed

At first it was all i could think about

He wouldn’t show his face,

No one saw him for weeks

He thought he was doing the right thing for them,

For all of us

And I didn’t think it would make a difference when I turned on him too

But anger faded away and the slow ink of forgiveness seeped in

They say forgive and forget but can you really forget what you’ve forgiven

Are you not reminded every time you see his face

When you read his words on the flickering screen

And what can you do when he stops apologizing

When he gives up because he thinks he did the unforgivable

Did he?
