When You're Making Up

When you're making up,
Make it good.
Make it to erase.
All things misunderstood.

When you're making up,
Let go and let be,
Don't redo those little details...
Of disharmony.

Dismiss and let it show,
That forgiveness is the key.
Dismiss and let it show,
To forget is to succeed.

When you're making up,
Dismiss to distance what has been.
When you're making up,
Recharge with a redoing to begin again.
When you're making up,
Promise and mean it to let the past end.
When you're making up...
Don't re-ignite details,
To hang on or bring up in argument to mention.

When you're making up,
Make it good.
Make it to erase.
All things misunderstood.

When you're making up,
Let go and let be,
Don't redo those little details...
To retrace with a ceasing of disharmony.
