If

If i were a bird
I will fly on my wings,
To the highest mountain, 
To the deepest plain.
With my wings
I will soar, 
Till i can soar no more.
                        if i were a fish, 
I will swim with my fins,
To the deepest part of the ocean,
To the deepest part of the sea.
With my fins,
I will explore the beauty of the waters, until there is nothing left to see.
                        if i were a star, 
I will let my light shine, 
Lighting every part of the world, 
Lighting every part of the universe.
With my light,
I will light up the darkness in your hearts.
But am only human.
With my flaws and shortcomings.
I am not a bird. 
I am not a fish,
Neither am i a star.
I cannot fly on wings like a bird.
I cannot swim with fins like a fish.
I cannot light up the world like a star.
But i have love in my heart, and with that i can change the world.
I have you close to my heart, even if you are thousand miles far away
Even if my love for you, you never returned
If i was to make a dream come true...
I will make a dream of being with you come true
A dream that can never come to fulfillment
Love came first
Love that betrayed
Love that can never be...
