Forgiveness

Is one's relief another's pain?
Is a simple encounter much too plain?

Does it have to evoke a mighty tide?
To bring back the past, from deep inside?

Does it feel better to hurt the other?
Does that really help a future together?

Are you truly willing to let it go?
Or is all an act or a show?

Do you believe its good for you?
Or is your love for the other indeed true?

Do you forgive now, and later sigh?
Or does forgiveness last a lifetime?
