I Would Like...

I would like to love,

                      and be loved, 

                                    and know my beloved awaits.



I would not want two women, 

                            or five women, 

                                           or a hundred women,



But just the one.  

                   The one that ever so sweetly 

                                                haunts my dreams.



I would like to hold her, 

                          and let time, 

                                        and the world, 

                                                       slip away.



I would like to be her Romeo, 

                              her Casanova, 

                                            her Don Juan

                                                         De Marco.



And I would sweep her off her feet, 

                                    and into my arms.  

                                                       Just like the movies.



I would like to show her

                         what's in my heart.



And give her 

             what's in my soul.



And take her

             into my dreams,

                             so that we could live,

                                                    and love, 

                                                              forever.



I would like love.
