Don'T Jump In
I should stop dipping my toes into the water,
but it's warm today.
Nobody could have guessed it.
Nothing of a shocking feeling that I'll have to spend a moment to get used to...
Nothing of a tiny pinch from a cause that I can't see -
The water is warm,
The water loves me,
The water knows who I am,
and it asks me to stay.
I would have never known my fortunate fate
if I didn't dip my toes in the water today,
and so tomorrow, I'll dip again, expecting the same, kind hello,
and there I will feel my feet hesitate and jump
at the cold, numbing "goodbye".
