forgiveness is giving up the hope of changing the past.
i forgive you doesn't mean i have to invite you over for dinner.
forgiveness doesn't give you the right to take take advantage of me.
forgiveness doesn't mean i forget the reason i have to forgive in the first place.
i may have forgiven, but i haven't forgotten.
so please don't push it. and please don't take me for granted.
contempt consumes me and takes over. i have to learn to forgive. i thought i had forgiven but i'm wrong.
i will forgive.

its not that i don't want to forget, but my mind won't let me.
things we should remember, we don't.
things we wish to forget, we remember.


goodnight and goodbye.
