Fix It

I long for … I need so … the comforting sooth You’d provide in our relationships’ youth But time and indifference have eroded away The warmth and caring you used to display. It’s not you don’t love me, I know that you do But you have so changed, and … so have I, too. We’ve grown apart … our interests have waned Our relationship troubled, our interface strained We used to hold hands … we used to go dance Things we’d do … would build and enhance, Our life together with our future to build … But … being enthused was long ago chilled. Please, Dear, help me rekindle the thrill Of our youthful years, and then we’ll instill A rebirth of caring of being involved To enjoy indifferences being dissolved We’ve conquered disease; we’ve beat down wrongs; We’ve cried our tears; we’ve sung our songs There’s nothing together which we cannot do Please, once more, let’s be: Me … with … You.

Couplets are included in the list of my favorite poetry forms. A great write. Always work to rekindle that flame. It's definitely worth the work it takes. Hubby and I celebrated our 60th in July.

Wonderful write Jack I'm married 23 years tomorrow yes you change over time in a relationship but things can get better and you find new things to do either together or apart which enhance your life - I now have discovered poetry and my life changed so much for the better and I have changed as a person. Recognising you need to do something together is a big step - Hope things turn around for you hugs Jan xxx

Very well said, Jack. The love is still there but it looks like it may be fading. A little spark now an then can go a long way. Good one, Jack.... Robert.

Yes, Robert ... sometimes in a relationship, all that's truly needed is ... to turn the lights back on, and do some reassessing. Glad you liked it. Jack C
