Healed From A Wound Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Would I consider,
Beginning a relationship...
With anyone I had been in love with,
In my past?
Is that what you've asked?

'Yes.'

I don't see why not.
I don't remember them anyway.
I've learned to forget,
All things meant to be forgotten.

And...
After my heart has healed from a wound...
I do not seek to reminisce,
How I came to arrive...
To achieve my current happiness.
I'm not one to sit repeated gloom.

Nor do I reflect upon...
Who at a time that has gone,
I had given my best.
Once I have been tested...
Giving my best,
I never regret it.

And if a chemistry is there to share,
I am sure a maturity has been involved.
Who cares what had been there to mend?
I live in the 'now' and glad of it.
