there are no sorrys here
sorry
not a concept i adhere to at all
because to do so implies something wrong
that i lay blame
when blame is not in my vast vocabulary
that i store wrongs and mistakes
but remember, i am a sieve, not a granary
a seed spreader, not a compost bin.
I love you
and my observations are for discussion
to make us both think
not to place blame or cause pain
It is not in my nature to remember wrong
because to me forgiveness means banishment
the offense is not glazed over with a coat of invisible
and a label that says May 2, she hurt me but i forgave her
Store for later reference and use in untimely moments.
No, never
because i love you
