Shooting Star

I would have stayed by your side
if you’d let me

I would have loved you sincerely
if you’d given me half a chance

I would have stayed away
If I knew we’d end up like this

I would have sat next to that other girl in class
I would have pretended I wasn’t interested
I would have smiled politely,
and never ever revealed the content of my heart

I would have cherished a dream
instead of longing for a passing star
instead of longing for you
