It's easy to forgive.
Someone does something horrible to you, you forgive. I forgive. No matter how deep that crack goes, I forgive. Even though I know that the seam will never be stitched back together as it was before, I forgive. Forgiving is one thing in life that I find easy to do.
What I could almost always never do is to forget.
This time, no matter how shallow that awful thing they do to you, even if you forgive, you can never forget. Not forgetting about the pain and the trouble that people has lashed about on you is the worst. The pain sears through your heart, like fire slowly burning off a piece of wood. Only, it never really really burns you. It scars you.
Those scars remind you of every single word that have been said about you. Every single moment that you have been hurt.
The pain marks you.
And you can always forgive. But it's not easy to forget.
I can never forget.
