Any relationship entails that people are on the same page. Mutual understandings apply not only to romantic and sexual partners. We ought to be as intentional and respectful with friendships too.

If you hear a knock on your door,
And you think that it's me,
Then give me a "ring"

For I promised to tell first
By whatever means if I'd come,
Including a "ping"

For I well know the dangers
Of crashing the gates,
One big lesson that lately I've learned

So if you let me in,
I'd be gladdened,
Aware of the honor that's been earned

And I knock on your door
Making known loud and clear
To your heart that I want to be there

Yes, with every intention
The pure and impure, I have come,
But I lay them all bare

There is no other trick
Causing sharp ears to prick
And no scheme brewing under your nose

Save the limit that all
Stay both proper and true,
I present you myself, I suppose

It's for you to assess
If there's any excess
Unto any I offer to you

But you well be aware
While there's both of us here
That I'm doing the same thing too

For it's my heart I've opened
Before I have sought
The permission to knock at your door

And you know very well,
Even idiots can tell
The few things that I came to you for

Yes, it's my heart that's opened,
And gladly it is, so please,
Don't leave me out here cold 

For I'd gladly give you
The affection the lasts,
That gets flourished, and better when old

This is very entertaining. It tickles my imagination. Great work!

I guess she/he should know by now... but a knock is appropriate... seems like love is brewing, heart is open, so please let her/him in, out of the cold... but ring me first...nice peace of work!!!

The last lines could be improved, I wonder how to do it...
