Forgive and Forget ?

When people say I forgive but I will not forget, what does that phrase actually mean. If we forgive aren't we suppose to forget their past transgression and start anew. Let's look at the true meaning behind the term forgiveness, the term means; the action or process of forgiving or being forgiving, to excuse for a fault or offense. Now let's look at the term forget, the term basically means to fail to remember.  When forgiving someone how many times when looking at that person do we remember the wrong they done to hurt us.  If we still remember the wrong they done to us are we really forgiving, or are we just trying to get along.  In order to completely forgive a person the thoughts of the wrong they did shouldn't plague our minds so therefore is the term "I will forgive but not forget" really valid?
