I forgive you, we don't cross roads.
But what if we do or will?
Tolerance is not unconditional or limitless.
To err is human to forgive is divine.
Stay away from me, don't cross roads with me
And I will drop you into oblivion.
If you don’t, the wounds will reopen
And will never dry forever.
Crimson blood will call for a vendetta.
Don’t cross my road,
You have your way and I have mine.
I forgive you, only because we don’t cross roads.
Let me put your evil deeds in a sack and
Bury it somewhere on my road.
Don’t dig for it back.
As I forgive you, only because we don’t cross roads.

I see. Are you a native Egyptian educated in an English speaking country? You must have lived in one for some time. --Ellis

I really thought I could forgive and forget just like that, but discovered that I can only do it if the doer of evil is far away from me and not crossing my road or rather minding his own affairs and stopping the harm, otherwise, very difficult when i remember or see the person with all his or her devilish glory. actually i am saying that with someone fresh in mind, she waged a war on me, actually has been doing that for the last 5 years, i let her go her way but then enough is enough i sharpened my claws and hit hard where it hurt her, so now she is bowing to force. i am talking about a person who wanted to annihilate me totally professionally, she thought, and for no reason except her sensless jealousies.

Leave her alone!
That one had better not cross roads with you!
You make it clear with him that you are through.
With him you'll have nothing more to do.
You're going to find for youself someone new!

Forgiveness seems easy when the one hurting you is far away from you and cant hurt you. however, when he keeps hurting you, or is there to remind you of his ill deeds, then forgiveness is an impossibility.
