I forgive you

for any of it, for all of it

Like an eraser to a white board

I am wiping it all clean

all the arguments we didn’t have

all the scars that were never addressed

all the confusion and utter devestation

I am not stuffing it in a box

I am not ignoring it

I am choosing to release it to the ocean

release it into the air like a Chinese floating lantern 

because I heard the description of Jannah

of kings and queens sitting on thrones

their drinks sloshing over the rims of their cups

laughing in their silk green robes

I imagined you then

sitting right beside me

Smile so bright as your laughter filled the air

I realized then nothing that happens here matters

You are my Jannah friend. Forever and always.
