I Would Like To ...

I would like to say I love you
I would like to kiss you goodnight
I would like to bare my existence
To your oh so divine judgement.
But isn't it a shame we just met
Isn't it a shame we don't know each other
Isn't it a shame I really don't know 
                          how I feel.
Why can't liking someone be less painful?
Why can't I lose my feelings toward 
                         somebody else?
Why can't I accept you
As you are?
Without the torment of lost relations?
Why can't I ...
I would like to ....
Give me time...
