Forgive and forget

Memories came rushing back
As he saw her smile
He was just getting on his feet
He was just surviving the defeat

Her happiness was the reason for his sadness
The grass was greener on her side
She sucked out the beauty in his life
Now he is living in darkness

He acknowledged her smile and  smiled back
Just there and then he realised that
He had to forgive and forget
To fix his broken heart
