Lingering Thoughts

I wonder if you could be happy without me,
If you could do being without me.
Whether you'll still laugh as beautifully,
With that small smile lingering all day long unconsciously.

I really don't think I can do all that without you.
And even if I could come to love again.
It would never again feel as easy as breathing,
Like having a heart just a little smaller than being complete.

Maybe I'm just wondering how important I am to you,
How true your beautiful words are,
How I know with such a certainty,
That you are the reason for all my lingering smiles.
