Forgiving

He broke her heart. Violated her trust. Deceived and betrayed her. Made her feel used, like a fool. She knows he didn’t mean to hurt her, but he did. 

As she once hurt another him. Didn’t she break his heart as well? Wasn’t she also young, and stupid, and selfish, not so long ago? Didn’t she also get lost? Made terrible choices? Failed to appreciate how she was loved?

Yet, she later remembered, recovered, and found a way, a new way, her way. 

Perhaps we all deserve to be forgiven.
