How does one let bygones be bygones?

How is it possible to let go of personal hurt and pride,

And put behind them the pain of personal hurt?

How does one release how important they think they are? I don’t see this as such an issue

With casual friendships or superficial acquaintances

But when love has bound the spirits of the two

As in friendship, family or lovers, the connections and pain run deeper. But…

I think, perhaps, that

Truly the very love that made the emotional pain so deep

Is the same love that gives one the ability to just let go

Leaving all the personal baggage behind.. …

To love, just love, letting bygones truly become bygones
