To the good old days,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When my only worry was to go to bed at nine, on time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When stealing candy was my only crime,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When I used to count weeks, waiting for holidays.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When my smile used to be a present for everyone,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When depression never knocked my door,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When I used to wake up late and have pancakes with the TV on,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When I used to go barefoot on the floor.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When everyone seemed to be friend,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, na\u00efve kid! The world is unfair,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Never thought it would be the end,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For such celestial memories, so rare.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I remember, I remember,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When war was just a stubborn man full of anger,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When pain was not a broken glass of wine,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Saying I am fine.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I remember, I remember,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When death was not a cold season taking loved ones every December,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When love was a gentleman handing a pure red rose to his wife,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That now, faded with sharp thorns, will give you trauma for the rest of your life.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
