FORGIVE, DON'T FORGET

Whoever said �Forgive and forget�
They must have been crazy.
It might suit others perfectly
But it wasn�t about you and me.

We are different, that is true.
Yet I can�t stop from forgiving you.
I guess I lied, I still must care.
Maybe I can�t resist your smile, or maybe it�s your colorful hair.

I�ve forgiven you, but I�ll never forget.
It�s be a crime to forget all of this.
The poems, the hugs, the stolen kisses.
It just wouldn�t be fair.

So I�ll keep these memories locked away in my heart
Hidden from view, like valuable art
And when I look back on my first year as a teen
I�ll remember the love and the laughter and all those tears.

I hope you�ll never forget.
And maybe, when we�re older
We�ll look back and remember,
The laughter, the tears and the love we shared.
