Knowing when to forgive

Remember the harsh words I spoke
when I didn't agree with you?
Many times I refused to talk,
I wouldn't hear your point of view.

Remember the hot tears I cried
when I thought you'd found someone new?
I really believed that you lied,
my doubts were so many- it's true.

Remember the times we had then-
in those early years, as our love grew?
The days of how, what, where and when-
so many things we never  knew.

So many the things we did wrong. 
No matter the time we may live,
the secret to loving so long-
is just knowing when to forgive.
