Myself In Someone Else
Bone of my bone,
flesh of my flesh
The best part of me
is in someone else
A heart that mirrors my heart,
a soul that reflects my soul
The purest part of me,
a complete stranger already intimately knows
Searching for that missing
bone of my bone
Looking for that supplemented
flesh of my flesh
The most loving part of me
is out there,
somewhere, in somebody else —
Totally invigorating their spiritual health
That’s why I can’t stop looking for
that missing part of myself that’s in someone else
Ever since the day of my rite of passage birth,
I’ve been searching for that elusive soulmate
Looking everywhere: in air, over water, on earth ...
for the most precious part of me
that is beyond any price of worth
A heart which mirrors my feelings,
a soul which reflects my thoughts
That best part of myself, I’ve always sought
If this missing part of me is in you,
our search for love will cross paths one day
You will find the best part of you dwelling in me too —
Then on that sacred day,
with joyous laughter so celebratory:
Bone of my bone,
flesh of my flesh ...
We will truly be one complete body
