nothing special

I am not special.

Somewhere, there is someone who looks  just like me.

In a far away country there is someone who laughs like me.

In a big crowded city there is for sure a woman who
thinks like me.

In a place that I’ve never been before there is a human being who
believes,

writes,

dreams,

like me.

In a more familiar place, not quite sure exactly where, there is a mother who
sings the same songs,
has the same name,
speaks the same language.

Somewhere in the world there is someone who thinks she is special, like me.

I am not a special one.
I am just one.
one love.
