We Owned Everything And Worried Less

There was a certain time
we couldn't be a minute apart,
our happy hearts knew no hurt;
we lived in a real Paradise!

Today, we stare into each other eyes
and see what the harm has done to us;
joy is not pain but conviction remains:
we owned everything and worried less!

What matters now is that we go on as many others,
but looking back can make us aware of our silliness; 
we should have thought about the hard times,
yesterday we owned everything and worried less!

Laughter and smiles were loved by us:
why do they turn memories into regrets?
We hummed beautiful songs and sang out of tune,
owls watched us writing our names on a big stone!

Wasn't it amazing when we owned everything
and worried less? Nothing can match that feeling,
nothing can make us dream anymore; daytime is cold,
not even a warm sunray makes grey clouds turn gold!
