E.E Cummings’ poem â€Å" i carry your heart with me(i carry it in)† show’s exactly what people truly feel, it’s as if he yanked someones feelings straight from their heart and put them on paper. This poem is the best explanation of true love, that there is. He says, that this woman is his love, he will love her forever, and no matter how far she may be from him, she will still be in his heart. Nothing could ever make his feelings for her fade away.

Which then ends the entire thing sweetly back to the start with, â€Å"i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart).†(14).
