bittersweet

of this incessant need for forgiveness
I could write
of my obsessive need for you to forget
I could dwell

but I don't
for our past is ages behind us
and our lives
far more separate than ever they were close

just know
I wish only for your happiness
just trust
that I forgave you long ago

when friendship ceases to be
it hurts
when the memories are happy
it haunts

[close]
