I Would've...
The Final Thoughts of Cedric Diggory

Mother, Father, all my friends
I couldn't see this hastened end
I didn't want to be a star
Caught in a constant Quidditch war
It wasn't what I was to be
I would've told...I didn't see

And to Miss Chang so kind and dear
I wish that I was standing here
I was confused throughout the ball
I didn't care for you at all
Believe that I am sorry, Cho
I would've said...I didn't know

Harry Potter, you were good
A Quidditch star as fine as Wood
The glory of the cup was yours
Before my doom, before you mourned
Don't feel ashamed for being there
I would've smiled...I didn't care

Reporters who have spread the news
This fate was never mine to choose
My glory came and then it went
I didn't need to be in print
I didn't want my name in ink
I would've screamed...I didn't think

So short, so quick, without a chance
No drama, happiness, romance
No life like what I'd enter soon
Now I won't see another moon
A future is all I could want
I would've wept...but now I'm gone
