I Dived Into Deep Poem by Keitumetse Mokhohlane

And still, I dived in too deep...

He had made it clear,
Clear that 'we're just giving it a try'...
Said, 'My dear';
I'm doing this, since I don't want to see you cry
I'm not sure, lent me an ear
I'm not sure if it is the most wisely picked decision.
And still, I dived in too deep...
He told me it wouldn't be;
Be like in the past,
Where I'd be his first,
And whom he fully trust,
Said, it felt as a must!
I said it's fine,
We'll go with time,
Can you call me yours? You mine?
He'd said, 'maybe sometime'
And still, I dived in too deep...
You told me you don't have the assurance,
Assurance that we'll last,
Said you were tired of not seeing my face,
And saw no use, just
Just you'll fast forward the time, that'll you'll race
Race your love at a pace behind mine...
Then I stood, had a thought and stroke at this pose.
And still, I dived in too deep...
