Every once in a while, the hurt returns
Neither planned nor rehearsed
It meets you vulnerable
The clouds start to gather
Thick dark clouds, masking the sun
You know the sun is there
But these clouds are in no hurry to clear
Acknowledge the hurt
Forgive again
Do not blame yourself for not forgetting
Do not blame others for enabling
The choice to forgive is never easy
Every once in a while, the hurt returns
To see if forgiveness is true
Answer “Yes”
Forgive again
Speak not of those clouds
It has come only to you
It will pass
You will pass
Every once in a while, the hurt returns
One action is always required
Forgive again
