The newly coined terms such as ‘having Some’ or ‘want to have Some’ are popular these days. ‘You are like mine although you are not mine as if you were mine. You are like my lover although you are not my lover as if you were my lover.’ From these lyrics we can glance at the identity of ‘Some’ contai
