I will ask you, what makes you human.
You will answer, it's simple, body. 
If I hadn't got eyes, wouldn't I see, or stare at? 
If I hadn't got ears, wouldn't I listen, or hear tell?
If I hadn't got a body, would it be a life, or just a null existence?
You will answer, it's simple, soul.
Without her, I'm just a man, not a person, aren't I?
Could I be nobody with soul, or somebody without any?
You will answer, it's simple, mind. 
How could I live, with no thinking? 
Without feelings, emotions? 
What kind of man would I be, if I didn't have them? 
You will answer, it's simple, heart.
If I hadn't got it, would I have been able to love? 
What would the world be? 
Can I love TO MUCH, or TOO LITTLE? 
Love is a perfection, isn't it?
You won't answer. It's too hard. Questions, without answer.


I will ask you, what makes you human?
