Revenge is sweet - just keep it in your fantasies!
The way I see it. You were right to be mad at him originally. It is a good thing that he sees the error of his ways. But that does not mean that you will stop being mad.
I think that you were completely right to forgive, but not reestablish the friendship. That makes perfect sense to me. Sometimes you are just too mad to go back.
You need to mourn what was lost. And then move on.
There is one person I hate. He used to be my boss and after I worked really hard he took my group away from me and wouldn't speak to me. That was 13 years ago. I still hate him. He tried to get a job where I was working, and I told them not to hire him. I don't hate anyone else.
If you are lucky, your hate will disolve into annoyance.
You are under no obligation to be friends with him.
