You Are Yours

When my face distances from yours
There is only perfect assurance.
Your identity reavealed by light
Smiling back at me.
"Only time will tell"
Time afforded, time feared.
But here in this place
I am yours, you are mine.

When my place distances from yours
We will cause to question.
I am drawn to your photo
Long to hear your voice.
"Love knows no bounds"
They lied--we found them.
We will really wonder
Am I yours? Are you mine?

When my mind distances from yours
Will I forget your smile?
Will I see your photo, hear your voice?
Will I no longer spend time feared?
"Do I know you from somewhere?"
Somplace, sometime, somefeeling...
Your darkened identity is my scattered assuarnce.
I am mine own. You are yours.
