We don’t touch
much
anymore
Whose fault is that
Do you feel the same ache
same pain that saps my
strength and leaves a
stain on my heart
Are there things in the spring
birdies singing
peepers peeping
days lengthening
that make you shake
quake with longing
Let’s wipe the salt from
our wounds and
reach out
again
Oh, WOW–I had a flashback, reading this. You’re an incredibly good writer.

I love the sing song feel of this..makes those disagreements seem like child’s play looking back…so hopefully room to make up!

How beautifully this reads (I always read poems out to get their feel) with Spring urging reconciliation with your emotive poem.
