This is the Dude Who Loves Me
I’ve mentioned him, and there has been a picture or two of him on this blog. But here’s a more official introduction - meet Lance.
Lance is my favorite person. He makes me laugh. He can laugh at himself, which i think is important to be able to do. He’s smart, and loves philosophizing about people and about the world. He’s good to his dog. He is always trying to improve himself, and really, what else is this life for? He is extremely passionate about his interests. He always treats me with respect, and is supportive of my interests. He gives a lot of himself to others.
And he’s given a big part of himself to me. I am lucky - he is my best friend, and i get to hang out with him all the time. How cool is that? (-: I love you, sweet thing.
I would like to share this poem by ee cummings that Lance has made special for 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 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)
