i am never without it anywhere i go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling
i fear no fate for you are my fate, my sweet
i want no world for beautiful you are my world, my true
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart, i carry it in my heart
I heard some news today that set me back a bit from someone that means more to me than she realizes. The news immediately brought me back to the reality of life and how precious each moment is. I mean, i knew that before, but this reminded me again that the small stuff just doesn't matter. That this person I thought I could be, is really not me. I love too much and too hard to feel any other way. It also made me think of this poem from E.E. Cummings. I first came across this poem in one of my English classes in college. I than heard it again while watching a movie a few years ago. After speaking with her, this movie popped into my head and all I could picture was the last scene in this movie where her little sister was reading this poem to her big sister as she drove away.
I love this poem. It has such an amazing underlying meaning. It sums up ever bit of how I feel about her.
"I carry your heart, i carry it in my heart"
