When We Knew

 

Once when we knew,

Our days were short and joyful.

Our voices laughed

To keep the sunshine.

Our hands were quick

To feel the other's pulse.

 

Once when we knew,

We wanted it to be forever.

The rain could be conquered

By a smile.

Life meant love

In days of warmth and sunshine.

 

Once when we knew,

It was all a dream

Of hopes and whishes.

 

But hopes were washed away

By broken promises,

And wished were

Something to dream for,

Once when we knew.
