Joe Flach Poet Rhyme

On The Edge of Love

I sat on the edge of love
Too afraid to go all in;
Not knowing if I would sink and drown,
Or, instinctively know how to swim.

I stood upon the shoreline
Watching many a fish swim by,
Never working up the courage
To give meeting any of them a try.

When finally, I dove in,
I discovered I was just another guy,
And when living emersed in water
No one notices when you have a cry.

I eventually found my lover,
After venturing into the deep end,
Surprised to have discovered,
She was disguised as my best friend.

I wasted time standing on the sideline,
That could have been spent with my soul mate,
But, better than never diving in,
Is jumping in a little bit late.

So, if you are sitting on the edge of love,
To you I give this advice,
Work up the courage to come on in,
The water in here is nice.
