Forgiveness

How can I do this? 
How can I forgive you?
After all that you put me through…

How do I take your apology?
And forgive what you did to me?

I know it’s hard
And you know it takes time to forgive

I took time

And now I’m ready.
I’m ready to forgive you.

I’m sorry I took my time,
But it’s all over now.
Forgive and forget?
I can forgive, 
But not forget
