I miss my childhood


It was when the happiness was abundant in life.

It was when all I needed to be happy were some toys.

 

It was when the bad people only existed on Superman.

It was when the only betrayals I knew were in history books.

 

It was when my Mom's love was enough for me.

It was when getting over something was easy.

 

It was when people believed that I had feelings.

It was when people cared about my feelings.

 

It was when my heart did not know pain.

It was when I used to get hurt but only physically.

 

It was.. when.. I used to be happy.
