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
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 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

By E.E. Cummings
