Forgiveness

I believe again
My heart mends so easily
When you say sorry

I try yet again
To live the vows together
That is who I am

I forgive again
Because I love you more than
The hurt you cause me

Forgiveness is wonderful but forgiving does not mean having to accept being continually used. To say your sorry is hollow without change.
