Answer:

Stanley wished that everything that happened in his life was different. This compares with the words "if only, if only", because it reflects Stanley's thinking thinking "If only things were different."

Explanation:

Stanley has a curse that damages his life and makes him go through very bad situations in his life. He would very much like his life to have been different, that the experiences he had had been different. For this reason, Stanley can live in a constant feeling of projection where he thinks "if only my life were different, if only things had happened differently." This relates entirely to the song sung by Sarah, especially the words "if only, if only".

I have the same prompt. Are you in the k12 system? Well here it is:
William Blake uses literary techniques and structure to develop meaning to the poem, mood as well as tone. Blake uses phrases like "<span>The sun does arise, 
And make happy the skies" To make the reader feel happy and light. It also conveys the idea that spring is a good thing and that the skies become happy when spring is coming. Blake also uses rhyme to make the poem light and bouncy. He uses phrases like </span><span>The merry bells ring - B
To welcome the Spring; The skylark and thrush, The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around To the bells’ cheerful sound;  While our sports shall be seen On the echoing green" This little stanza here give the poem a light and happy feeling. This is as far as I got I'll update this later when I am done. I hoped this somewhat helped.</span>

One time I was talking to a friend, whom I had been very bitter towards because she had stopped talking to me.

It was just the fact that she- my absolute best friend in the whole world; she became a stranger. A distant somebody. A close nobody? I don't know either. 

Anyways. I was listening to her gibber incessantly about her life and realized how shallow and selfish she was- never talking about anything but herself and disregarding all other opinions. 

I think I became more uncomfortable over time. I was taught to be kind and friends with all, 
                          to be kind,
                                            that every individual was the way they are because of experiences,

Thinking I would feel guilty and selfish, for pushing someone aside like that, I tried to keep her close to me. Even though she did the same to me. Who was I to judge someone as close-minded as her, if I couldn't consider her as a friend still?

But I didn't want to be friends anymore. I don't know if we ever were. So we then continued talking stupid nothings and I left. The conversation itself wasn't as important as the lack of it. 

I realized the golden rule I held against other people should be held for me too. I let her go for my self care, for my own kindness. 

I feel better and I am unashamed.
