Why I Will Not Pursue You

I don't want to stain a fragrant white cloth;
Nor to pluck a gumamela bud that is yet to bloom;

Nor to unintentionally mold
A piece of clay
Before it can decide on its shape;

Nor to stop a spring
From becoming a river;

Nor to snatch a young flame
That's meant to warm another guy's room.
