Forgiving and Forgetting

To forgive and to forget are two different things
Are they not? What possible joy can these two bring?
Forgiving is never easy, no matter what you think
Some people can’t forgive without some kind of brink
Forgetting is a lot easier, no matter what you feel
But to forget something, means something was real
I’m not sure if I’ll ever understand the two
But I know they are always there no matter what you go through
Forgiving and Forgetting are two different emotions
They live in your heart, which hides your true devotion
Forgiving means you accept something
Forgetting means something happened you’re regretting
Sometimes we confuse these two feelings
To find that the heart can create two different sealing's
Sealing's are what keep the heart intact
Because sometimes, forgiving and forgetting isn’t based on facts
Sometimes we forgive, so we don’t have to forget
Sometimes we forget, so we don’t have to forgive
But no matter what, Forgiving and Forgetting are two different things
Are they not? What possible joy can these two bring?
