On understanding...

There are moments of angst when
The memories rip through the surface
Ushering disdain and chill
Sour and pungent thoughts…

The actions that denied
Any shred of love or belonging
The Words that evoked
Hatred and putrid minds

Seconds of dark clouds
The onslaught of mocking vibes
Glances which belie numbness
And resoluteness of never wanting more

But we still go on
The storm always tides over
The softness still enters
The smiles come riding in

Is it always so easy I thought
That there is light after every night
The sunshine always return
Mirth embellishes the mind

Do lovers always forget?
The bad days, the ugly words
The moments of hatred
The aura of unreasonables

Then I realized the truth,
We do not always forget the bad days,
We do not pretend it did not happen
But we just forgive each other
