I Could Love You

In a store, or, 

    a shopping mall.

Of all the women who pass me by,

I wonder whose not standing tall?

Which one sees me, liking what she sees?

Yet no one ever stops me to say,  

    Hello!

Or are they more like me; not finding 

    the words that might draw us to 

    one another

    like birds

    and bees?

I'd love to love you, honey.

But I'd love to know who you are first.

I'd love to love you, honey.

I need to know who I'm loving, not to 

    be cursed.

I need to learn your depth, it's not

    any worse.

I want to know your secrets, I don't 

    care about your money.

I'd love to love you, honey.

Like two ships passing in the dark;

We go our own way; never stopping 

    to say, Hey!

There must be a compatible mate.

Hope to find her before it's too late.

We go so fast. Never realizing the 

    lost opportunity.

If only I could love you, honey; but I 

    need to know where you are.
