9 : universal love, eternity, faith, “revered in Hinduism and considered a complete, perfected and divine number”

Happy 9, to my partner in life, my best friend, my other half. My life has only gotten better and better with you. I do not take it for granted. I see all that you do. We are so lucky to be yours.

nine years, like nine blinks of an eye…

Here’s to the next 99, babe!

I Carry Your Heart With Me

E.E. Cummings

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)
