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
—-E. E. Cummings
love is truly a mystifying thing, and only apt that i talk about in on a day as such. you see, what happens when one is in love, is that it pushes people to do certain things that they don't normally do. and while the common notion is that one does these things as an indication of how much he loves her, I choose to believe that one (or at least I) does these things, simply to let her know that I care. And whilst it sounds almost ridiculous to point out the obvious, it seems more often than not people do seem to miss the point, that the act of such, is simply an act to say that 'here's a tangible way of saying i care'.
which brings me to talk about two other things. the tangible and intangible acts. people seem to believe that the intangible acts - 'the 'it's-the-thought-that-counts' mentality' - will suffice, but breaking it down, there are numerous benefits that come about from letting the tangible acts come into play. the tangible acts become a more concrete form of caring, a more concrete way of saying 'I-love-you-this-much'. But before we take it a little too far into the overtly materialistic realm, we do need to note the need to only tip-toe on the line but not cross it. The tangible acts bring the intangibles back on something to anchor upon, and upon which the intangibles become much easier to accumulate, or grow. In fact, when you do look at it closer, the intangibles actually encompasses the very connectivity, the 'click' between a couple or the perceived 'compatibility'.
I don't want to buy your love, or force your connectivity. but i hope you do know that these things help, and i sure as hell don't want to screw up, and that much i guess you already know. and if there was something out there i could do to cement 'forever', i would. i love you. happy valentine's day.
