This is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I saw "In Her Shoes" over the last couple of days (when I watch movies by myself, I watch them in pieces. I don't have the attention span to sit alone and watch a full movie, usually. So it takes me days to get through a movie on my own.) and I had seen it before, but I forgot about the e.e. cummings poem that's repeated in it a couple of times. I fell in love with it all over again, as I seemed to remember doing the first time I saw the movie. Here it is because it really is too sweet and wonderful to not share:

I carry your heart with me

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)
