Match Haiku (929-932)

Matches go out fast
A candle's flame lasts longer
Oh let's be candles

I'm scared of matches
The little cardboard book ones
and the blind date kind

Above the surface
and below, we are two ways
We need to match them

It's like in tennis,
playing both sides of the match
that's how I live life

Thanks to Haiku Horizons for the prompt.
