When I reflect upon the pain you've caused
That left scars upon my heart
I've tried so hard to forgive you
But the pain is tearing me apart.

The Good Lord says to "forgive"
And I think I've done that part
But still the memories linger on
The "forget" has yet to start.

I know that time will ease the pain
Of all that I've been through
And all that really matters is.....
Your love for me and mine for you.

I don't know how long "forget" will take
Will it completely leave my mind?
Or will it linger on for years
When little things remind?

Dear Lord help me to put this thing
Upon a shelf to rest
And make the smiles outshine the tears
So I'll be no more obsessed.
