'uniquely You'

Remember the days 
When all you had to do was smile
And it made your forget 
about the adversity,
It made you forget about the tears

Remember what it felt like
To unwrap a gift from that 
Someone special

Remember your first kiss
It might not have been 
Something for the record books
But it was your first

Every day we are faced with something new
We encounter strangers, 
Some become friends

We encounter fear,
Laughter and sadness
Sometimes nameless emotions 
that urges you to exhale

You may not remember 
them in a year but it is all part of who you are
like a fingerprint that makes you-- 

uniquely you

Yes, even if we have an identical twin, we are all unique, one-of-a-kind beings on the earth. Your wording is very descriptive.
