All is Forgiven

GiaB ‘Dear Genie’ prompt #2: forgiveness

Maybe it’s time to forgive, not forget, We can’t move forward stuck where we’ve just been. Do not let others’ actions cause regret, We still can love the person, not the sin.

We’ve taken so much time to reach this point, To where we both talk at instead of to. Find something we both can agree to exploit, Not aggravate the situation anew.

We don’t have to agree on anything, Agree to disagree and then move on. We don’t fight against them on everything, Forgive them, then fight against all their wrongs.

All is forgiven, it’s time to move on, A new start, maybe even a new dawn.

If any of my fellow writers want to complete this prompt themed forgiveness, here is your chance. The rules can be found in the following link.
