I'm Sorry

I got too close
revealed too much of my hand
crossed some unspoken border
revealed some deeper intent

I'm sorry
did I scare you
frighten you
make you retreat
into the confused but
appropriate space
wondering where I was going
with this
what I hoped to accomplish and
whether I was simply
another groupie in your long
chain of fools

I apologize
sometimes I am
too blatant
too forward
too passionate
and I say things I regret
do things I wish
I could simply recall
I have no alterior motive
only to be near and
enjoy you

I am sorry
if I was too forward
