They all say
"Forgive,
but don't forget."

Don't be resentful
Don't hold grudges.
Just don't forget
the shit they put you through.

It's a futile task.

I say
"Forget,
but don't forgive."

I pretend to not be resentful.
I pretend to not hold grudges.
I pretend to not hate you
for the shit you put me through,

but I will never forgive you.
