An Ache She Shared

It always seems to be the way
You don't try hard and lose the day.

She asks so little from you now
Perhaps she has forgotten how.

A loss, a hurt, an ache she shared
But you were slow to show you cared.

Away, she goes away to think
And leaves your love life on the brink.

This is not lust, but much, much more
And barely have you tried before.

Sweet dear she is, a part of you
You must attempt to start anew.

Reach out with earnest pleas again
That things can be as they have been.

You have so few who really care
Don't let her leave your chamber bare.

If you will just apologize
Her gaze will smile with gleaming eyes.

So simple is the remedy
But always works to set hearts free.

And in the end you will have found
Two lovers are forever bound.
