lyrics

Have you ever been so in love that you forget who you are?

That you don’t feel the boundary between you and the person you’re in love with?

Did your existence feel dependent on this other person?
As if, when you looked into his or her eyes, it was like looking into your own reflection?

It’s interesting, maybe scary or daunting as well, to lose yourself in someone else. To allow yourself to let go of the fibers of what it means to be ‘you’ and to allow another person’s personality weave into yours.

But once you allow yourself to let go and to stop taking yourself so seriously, that is when you can begin to feel connected to someone else. The word 'individuality' come from the greek word for 'indivisibility' which means complete existence in something else.

Love proves that our individuality, our sense of identity, is actually tenuous — through others we define ourselves.

This is one of the beautiful traits of humanity. We are never alone — we are co-dependent.
