When life gives you lemons, make grape juice, and sit back to watch while the world try to figure out how you did it.

We are still friends,
as we hopefully always will be.
But, that does not mean that I have forgotten.
It does not mean that the pain you caused is not still wrapping itself around my heart.
It simply means that I have forgiven.
I will never forget the pain,
I will never forget the tears I shed.
Nor, will I forget
That you did not mean to hurt me.
I simply wish you would have realized sooner.
I have forgiven you, but I will never forget.
You are my friend, and I care for you
But I will not allow you the care that I gave you before.
I hope you understand,
I also hope you forgive my behavior,
But never forget.

So the subject of 'Who am I to you?' has been resolved. We talked about it the other day and fixed everything. This is just something that I wanted to write to get it all out.
