I forgive you,
not with words aloud
but often in silence.

I forgive you,
though I don't forget easily,
I hold no grudge.

I forgive you,
but I need my space
so leave me be.

You are forgiven,
but you shattered my heart;
it takes time to heal.

You are forgiven,
no need to keep saying sorry--
it's awkward, really.

You are forgiven,
but we can't go back
to who we were.

I forgive you,
because I need
peace of mind.
You are forgiven--
just go on with your life
and I, with mine.
