Non perderti niente, nemmeno una cosa, perché io sono qui e poi chissà, poi un giorno potrei mancarti e allora avrai voglia di fare come me: avrai voglia di ricordare tutto.
Mi ami, dici, allora esplorami e rendimi unica, dammi vita, dammi un nome, quello che vuoi, dammi un volto che forse sarà diverso dal volto che immagino di avere, dammi due gambe, come le preferisci, dai un suono ai miei passi e alle mie ciglia quando ti fanno il solletico sulle guance. Sono piccola e sono speciale, non mi lasciare svanire in mezzo alla folla quando vai a lavorare, dammi un profumo ed emozionati ogni volta che ne senti uno simile al mio, simile, ma mai uguale. Amami perché sono io e non perché mi ami, non essere uno di quelli che alla domanda "perché la ami?" rispondono "non lo so, la amo e basta". Ti prego, ogni giorno trova un motivo per amare me e non un'altra, ti prego, sono piccola e sono speciale,
davvero
davvero?

I am like a baby and I’m special, so try do not make that mistake that so many do, political apathy, do not mix me up with the others, with the things you see and touch every day, with the kiss you’ve already give and the caresses you’re already got. Don’t be confused, I’m just me, like a baby and I’m special. When you’re talking about me, about my face, don’t tell me I have beautiful eyes or full lips: everyone sees that. Stop at that something that makes me different, at that stuff I hide to whom I don’t like, stare at my expression when you say something that is not familiar to me, on the movement of my eyebrows when I am anxious, on my lips color when I am excited. When you look at me, take a hard look at me. Not the shirt, not the jeans, not my ass. Look at my feet when I walk, look at the flips my hair do when I run into you, look at my veins under my skin, look at me when sometimes I seem tired because I feel not enough. Remember “that time” and not “one time”. You teach me many things every day and I’d like you learn that from me, and I’d like you always use that: love with care. Yeah, that’s just me saying that, I’m always distracted, no one would rely on me, me who do not have that great skills I say be careful. Be careful to how I eat my nails, to how I drink wine, to how I put some cream on after shower, to how I clean the desk where we’ve just eaten, to how I make the bed, to how I scream, to how I cry. Be careful.
Do not lose anything, no a thing, because I am here and then I don’t know, one day you would miss me and you will do like me: remember everything.
You love me, you say. So explore me and make me the only one, give me life, give me a name, the one you like, give me a face, that maybe different from the one I guess to have, give me two legs as you like it, give a sound to my steps and to my eyelashes when they tickle you on your cheeks.
I am like a baby and I’m special, don’t let me disappear in the crowd when you go to work give me a scent and get excited every time you smell something similar, just similar but not the same.
Love me because that’s just me and not because you love me, don’t be that man who at the question: “Why do you love her?” Replies “I don’t know, I just love her”. Find every day a reason to love me and not another one, please, I’m like a baby and I am special.
Really,…. Really?
