Leo POV
when you first feel pain, you scream, you cry
when you are older, you learn that hurt and sorrow is just part of the world
when you are older still, you find out that the most painful kind of hurt is the kind you cannot see
you might lose a friend, or a family member, or let them down
you might look back and regret what you did
you might get lost in your thoughts forever
but don't
get over with it
forgive but never forget
remember your loved ones, your friends, your family, but move on as well
but never, never, forget them
I looked at the poem. I had used Google Translate to make it easier to read. "Forgive, but never forget" those words rang in my head. I thought of my mom. I didn't blame myself for her death, did I? Well, yes, I still did. If I didn't have my powers, then I would have never set her on fire. And she would have lived. "But all good things have to go" Festus was awesome, but he went. Calypso was good. But she went. But they both came back. Would his mother come back too? He quickly shook the thought out of his head. It was too good to be true. Hades never let anyone come back to life. He probably would have done so with Maria Di Angelo, but the Ancient Laws stopped him. Still, having his mother around would be great.
