How can I breathe
without the smell of your hair
soothing my nostrils?
How can I smile
when I can no longer see the love
in those beautiful brown eyes?
How can live
without the promise of waking up
to your warmth?
You can breathe
when I come to you each time
in the cool, soft breeze.
You can smile
as memories of our life together
flood your heart.
You can live
knowing I'm with you still
in spirit.

Very lovely
I like the way the girl (in the second half of the poem) answers the boy (in the first half of the poem)! Very poetic. Very good writing.
