Forgiveness is Best

Pete did not
over-exaggerate

Because when I arrived in that bar,

I saw Bert drinking his troubles away.

It was exactly what I had envisioned.

I waved a hand in front of him.

"Bert," I called.

He looked up.

You could feel the guilt

And regret

In his face.

Then,
He said,

"Are we still Best Friends?"

I went back to that night

Where he first called me that.

It wouldn't stop repeating in my head:


"It's Gerard, he's my best friend."  

"It's Gerard, he's my best friend."  


"I said I forgave you, didn't I?"

I felt bad
Because my voice was monotone.

"But why?"

"Bert,
What you don't realize is that
In order to move on from something,
You need to learn how to forgive first.
Because if you don't,
You won't learn how to move on,
And if you don't learn how to move on,
Then your guilt will consume you."

He didn't say anything
In return.
But I knew
He'd think about it.
