I like this but I think that some of it might be a bit redundant.

passing through the gaps in the fence
when the wind kicked up again
It is always you I I would lose this as the "you" is already implied
Today has been opening jars of pennies
stubs of things we did
napkins with your love notes
When I sat down last night
slowly falling into the couch
a glimpse, heart skip
almost caught you in my today
I don’t know where you are
or who we have become I don't think this part really works here.
Organizing drawers, in every corner
there are pieces of us
latent fingerprints, evidence
we saw our endless selves in
I miss you
I miss us
the us
that lives
and breathes
of what we were
our winds
kicking up again
singing our names
to our kids
between gaps
we see
forever in
Drastic I know, but I would lose, or at least re-write, all of this, as I don't think it adds anything to the poem. Maybe take the "I don’t know where you are
or who we have become" sentiment to make a better ending?
