Later

You worry about what you've said to them,

then you wonder if they worry about what you've said to them,

then you worry about what they've said to you,

then you wonder if they worry about what they've said to you.

Then, years later, out of the blue,

they tell you they forgive you

for something you don't remember

you'd said to them.

Then, later still, you realise

you didn't tell them that you don't forgive them

for the things they don't remember

they'd said to you.
