My love is mine 

And I am his 

No truer statement 

Can I breath

 

Though ne'er have these words 

Held resonance 

Nor have I cared 

To feel distilled 

 

To rely on

To be linked to  

To be limited 

To be boxed 

 

But my love is mine

And I am his 

It is not an ideal or sentence 

Nor is it value-based 

 

It is fact

Short and plain

Blameless and true 

They simply are

 

It is not a limit

It is a statement of being

I am not brought low 

Or stripped of my own meaning 

 

I am part of something greater

I am lifted up 

To create something true 

In tandem with another  

 

The world may shift

The earth may turn

But my love is mine

And I am his 

 

Near or far

Right or wrong

My love is mine

And I am his 

 

My love is mine

And I am his 

Each moment 

Each breath
