[i] Remember that time in LA

You asked me what we were doing

I said we’re doing fine

You said here we go again[/i]

[i]Remember the good times we had together, forgive each other of our faults,[/i] Ashley thought to herself. She wrapped her arms around her self. The soft cotton material of her red tank top was pressed between her fingertips. She looked at the blond. She new the girl didn’t want to go through this fight. She knew that they where both hurt and that by doing what they’re doing wasn’t helping.

Ashley felt a tear drop from her eye. She whipped the wet tear from her cheek and looked at it. The wet substance was invisible to her eyes. She looked at the angry blond once more, “Spencer.” The word easily slipped from the girl’s lips as if she had been saying it her whole life. “We both hurt each other. We can’t change the past, we shouldn’t even try. We realized what we both did wrong. Now, let’s try to move on from it.”

Spencer looked shocked. She looked like she had just seen a dead caucus out in the middle of Rodeo Dr. The words that were seeping out of the brunette’s mouth sounded like the only words that make since. Spencer took in every word she had said, and drank it up like water. Ashley was right. They yelling and screaming was useless. They were making it more complicated than it should be. They had added more problems into the equation than there needed to be.

[i] I’m like a vacuum bag

That holds all that old dirt

Remember that time we said we’d be together forever?[/i]

Spencer remembered some little thing that she had saw on Oprah and she was compelled to say it aloud. Her face was now her usually pale color and her stature was relaxed. “Forgiveness is letting go of the hope you could change the past.”

Ashley smiled at that, “I can let go if you can…”

“It’s already gone,” the blond said.

That was the end of that fight. Spencer was amazed at how much easier it was to not dwell and just let go. People complicate things too much by just holding on to the problems and clawing at it until they bled. Instead, they should let it go and le tit heal. She had learned something new that was very valuable. But that still didn’t fix the feelings that both girls had.
