harder, unforced

demands tenacity

requires nothing – reciprocation, nor love

changes everything

overlooks an offense

covers a multitude of stains

opens a door

buries a hatchet

condition-less

without qualification

never cheap, never earned

seemingly amnesiac

firsthand, not secondhand

stunningly attractive, oft unregarded

believes a better word

hopes a better word

nothing to do with karma

is fueled by love

always within redemption

undiminished by rejection

framed unfair

feels unreasonable

never deserved

gets back up

gets back up

emphatically incarnate

a person

a word

grace.
