What Might Have Been

I often dream of what might have been
I wish I had the courage when I had the chance
But I was scared and didn't know where to begin
I often dream of what might have been
If I had summoned all of my courage within
Maybe we'd share more than a passing glance
I often dream of what might have been
I wish I had the courage when I had the chance
