Running with questions.
Running and running from a past I can't hide from. I keep losing my way while finding new things to fill my heart and my mind. I feel like I'm losing my mind. There's a new fear of confrontation with things that I thought I had already confronted. And now, an unopened wound bleeds incessantly. A horror story unfolds within my memories. I don't want to remember. I don't want to know. I want to forget. Why does it take so long to get past a few moments of a life that is so full? Why do I think so much about such unthinkable wrongs?

To forget means to forgive. But how can you forgive someone who won't ask for forgiveness? How can I forget someone when they torment my thoughts at all hours of the night?

I must be fooling myself if I thought I was strong enough to face this on my own. I am so glad that there is one holding my hand right now. And I am happy to cry on your shoulder. You may think that you have disappointed me or have not impressed me enough for me to stay. But you are all that I need. Right here. Right now. You are every protection from misery and lonliness. Just love me and treat me tenderly, and I will be yours in return.

Looking at the perceived linearity of time, there is a reason the past is behind us. We can learn from where we've been, but we really can't change it or forget it. One of the greatest gifts that we have been given is the companionship of others. We never have to walk alone. Keep on walking past the past and you'll walk right into your own future.

The greatest gift that was ever given, forgiveness, was given without anyone asking for it. Somtimes, those that need forgiveness the most, don't even realize how badly they need it.

Its whether or not that person accepts forgiveness and is grateful for it that defines them as a person.

I agree with deincarnate. I submit that forgetting is not forgiveness. If you forget, you can't learn from your experiences. Instead, forgive, and remember. Remembering will help you to be a better person.
