I am only made human by the love of another
Til the engagement of rapport, dormant my soul shall be
The essence of myself exists solely for others to uncover
Made to know the world by the caress of a mother
Without amity, destined to never be known in entirety
I am only made human by the love of another
Light as a board and as stiff as a feather
The treasures of childhood held in my mind’s reliquary
The essence of ourselves exists solely for others to uncover
In shared experience, once lost memories are fated to sputter
To truly know me is to cause my hearts diastole
I am only made human by the love of another
In the brightness of company, my life’s days are brought to color
Strings of unrelated conversations forming a crude sort of potpourri
The essence of myself exists solely for others to uncover
In the solace of a friend, our true selves we can discover
To nurture my mind is to unlock my soul by its only key
I am only made human by the love of another
The essence of myself exists solely for others to uncover
