Emily Dickinson - Heart! We will forget him!

Heart! We will forget him!
You and I -- tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave --
I will forget the light!

When you have done, pray tell me
That I may straight begin!
Haste! lest while you're lagging
I remember him!

we looooooooove this poem soooo much! first we hated poetry, but now we're addicted to this poem. it helps us in bad times! often we read it for each other in times of trouble. and it makes us feel better, because it's soooooooooo deep !
sometimes we don't go to school, and we stay home, so we can read this poem all day long! its just the best poem of the world!
oh my god its so amazing, how someone can write something this beautifull. we didnt know this was possible!
