How can you be gone?
I still have your letters you wrote in my emails;
How can you be gone?
I still have the poems I wrote you on my page;
How can you be gone?
I still have the pictures of you in my album;
How can you be gone?
I still have the prayers we prayed together in the guestbook;
How can you be gone?
I still have the gifts you gave me;
-- I still wear the shirt you made me;
How can you be gone?
I still have the stories we shared.
How can you be gone?
I still remember the moments you stole;
How can you be gone?
I still keep those dark secrets between you and me.
How can you be gone?
I still am influenced by you and live your ways my whole life's decisions
were from you.
How can you be gone?
He still envies you.
How can you be gone?
The memories are still vivid in my mind like they happened yesterday.
How can you be gone?
I still have that torn up book...
How can you be gone?
How can the tears run down my face
How can you be gone?
You still live in my heart.

Its the memories that brings their wings to life feel the breeze as they pass by know in your minds eye he dances within from the memories from beginning to end . I feel for every time I think of my Mom or Dad Or sister that has passed they are telling me they love me to .For memories are the wind beneath their wings and keeps them alive forever and a day

Nice job of expressing the feeling. I liked how you repeat the phrase: How can you be gone, it keeps the flow going and brings something important to the poem.
