There's nothing that we really need.

when my computer crashed
I thought it took my everything

places, faces and moments photographed
heart's words crystallized
the years of making and preserving them

when they vanished without a trace
consumed me an emptiness
that remained no relic to remind me of the past
to relive the times frozen on the frame
and it seemed life was only half lived!

When lifted the clouds of sigh
I gave my mind a peaceful heed
I heard spoken within

there's nothing that we really need
except a little space

*to love and be loved!
