There are photos that make you remember times when life loved you back enough.
For a moment, you did not want to di e a sad de ath.
Even in loneliness, you were not loveless.
You knew how to stop. Just to see the dancing shadow of the leaves on a wall.
You knew how to carry on even if there were endless screams around you.
Those were fleeting moments, here and there. They came once or twice and faded away without giving a notice.
Maybe this is why we need photos. Photos to keep under your pillow. Photos to put in your wallet. Photos to move to the private folders. They call you when you are done looking for the moments when you love yourself back enough.
