& you're still my best friend.
i carry your heart with me
i carry it in my heart
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
here is the deepest secret no one 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
is the wonder thats keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart,
i carry it in my heart.
-E.E. Cummings
