Old Flames

Given the opportunity to apologize for an ancient wrong, he feels fortunate.
Released from its long hardened sheath of guilt, the seed of pain germinates.
A flower erupts. A beautiful, bitter weed.
To eat this weed, or let it die in the sun, he wonders.

He puzzles at the motive. Is it his chance to be absolved for his wrongs?
Or is it her attempt to revenge her pain by reminding him of them?
Which does he deserve? Shall he suffer the guilt again, or the bliss?
She certainly doesn't owe him forgiveness, yet she seems to offer it.
Why?
