Safe

I know you don't reject me
You are just keeping a safe distance
And I am at fault here
It's my bad habit
To not respect boundaries
To break walls
To overstep
To make things messy, I guess
I also have a premonition
That your safety mechanism
Will come across
as polite rejection to my heart
And unknowingly
And unconsciously
It will walk away
because it has been trained by life
to do so at appropriate time.
If the time is inappropriate
I hope you will tell
Or else
You will excuse.
I hope you will pardon,
If it's too late
by the time you realize.
