Under All the Layers
"i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it(anywhere i go you go . . . "
ee Cummings
Years gone by
refuse to count
seems like yesterday
trying not to stop and think
yet I’ve never forgotten
how at your smile I’d melt
and wither at your gaze
how I treasured
every stolen moment
and time stood still
in your arms
somehow I go on
never wanting to forget
never loved anyone
like I loved you
under all the layers
despite the many years
the flame still burns
I still love to carry
your heart within me
