I Carry your Heart with Me

Today is our 2 year anniversary! But honestly, it feels like we've been married much longer. I can't remember when our last argument was, or what it was about. But I remember how he took care of me the last time I was sick and goes to work everyday so that I can pursue two degrees (even though we all know I actually don't like working).

I love that he knows all my faults and still loves me. That he doesn't mind me leaving used Kleenexes around the house and makes up for my lack of cooking.

I've learned to leave him alone when he naps and to wait an hour after he showers for the hot water to return. And I've stopped asking him if he likes bananas.

Best of all, I look forward to many more years to come. Who would've thought things could be so perfect? I'm glad we hung in there.


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 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)
