Childhood

When laughing was 
Actually laughing
And weeping was
Really weeping. 

Remember the days when
Everything was simple?

Hate was just a day 
Of not talking and 
Friendship,
A toffee away.

Unmasked smiles,
Un-adulterated tears.

The moon wasn't just
A celestial rock and
Granny had taken refuge 
In the brightest star.
