Boundaries

I have some boundaries in place that you're not free to cross so keep your distance where you are, or all will be at loss It's only when my trust you gain, that you can come inside Until that time, I must decline, and soul and feelings hide For I'll not take a stranger in, my treasures I must keep I've trusted many times before and for those times I weep So, please respect my privacy and do not venture in Perhaps in time, if all be well, my friendship you can win My friends all know the joy that comes when loyalty is won There are such pleasant happenings and fun under the sun So, till that time when all is fine and secrets we can share be sure to stick to boundaries, perhaps I'll meet you there.
