ForgivenessA Poem by Haley Lynn ThomasI ran into you the other day I haven't seen you since our high school days Man, you really haven't changed You're still a stuck up you-know-what
I bet you don't remember me Even though for twelve years of our lives I was your punching bag The one you beat into the ground
Well, I'd just like to return All the snide comments you gave to me I'd really like to But I won't because I'm not like you
Instead I'd like to give you a very special present It's one that you certainly haven't earned And one you certainly don't deserve But here it is anyway
Even though you're not apologizing For things you did and said I'll never forget But I'm granting you my forgiveness
I won't hold it against you anymore There's no reason to hold on to my bitterness There's no point to this grudge But belive me, I'm not forgiving you for you
This is the beginning of new me Because now I'm finally ready to move on I'm so glad I ran into you the other day Because now that I've let go I'm finally whole
