good gift

I used to think that my JC friend was really clever when he gave his girlfriend this watch she really liked. 

I still remember telling him that it's such a brilliant idea. Every time she checks the time (which a normal person does very frequently), she'd think of him. 

Well, I had the privilege recently to swap the aging hard disk drive in her laptop for a new one. 

Now every time she uses it and is once again astonished with the new speed, will she think of me? 

It was a privilege and of immense pleasure to be at her service. 

I'm wary, fearful that I've turned a blessing into a curse. 

Things are good when we do not over celebrate it. 

Unfortunately, even a watch fades into the background someday,

What more the humble hard drive chugging away in an aged machine. 

My soul tells my heart: just let it fade, let it be just another chapter in your mundane life. 

Then maybe it'll remain a good thing, 

worth over celebration.
