I’ve gotten over it, You see, For you were just being you, And I was being me, If I dwell on what was done, Then I’m stunted in my growing, For you are an individual, You see, As well the truth is, It is the same with me, We were bound to hurt each other, In some kind of way, But I’ve gotten over it,
Know this today, I hold no animosity towards you, And know it with all yourself, That this is truth,
Life goes on, It is a river, Flowing, It’s an endless trip, Of trying to grasp the IT, One thing I have defiantly learned, Is to forgive, For there is only one of you, And one of me, On this life lesson,
And be that this is true, I will, And shall, Always forgive you, So there is no need, To feel any pain,
For the way you might of treated me, For it’s done with you see, I’m doing well, As well as this one can be, And there is no need for you, To continually ask for my forgiveness, For I’ve already forgotten about it, Why continually remind me of it, Take my word, It’s ok with me, All I can see that may be wrong, Is that you haven’t forgiven yourself, In what was done. So be relieved and forgive yourself,
So that you too may live on, And see the IT, That I see, Again, I’ve gotten over it, Forget it, And let it be, Live freely…

Dedicated to those who seek me out and still continually ask for my forgiveness on the way they treated me..
