The act of forgiveness is not about forgetting. It's about releasing yourself from the self-inflicting paralyzation that unforgiveness can put on us. Forgiving as Christ has forgiven cannot truly be done on our own. Verse 12 reminds us of a few things we can 'put on' in order to forgive as God has.  

Colossians 3:12-13 ESV

12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
