Matters of Affairs

Ah, someone’s had an affair and now is resorting in finding a suitable way to apologize with. I am afraid my post(s) are way too cynical for such lofty purposes, my friend. However, one can’t help but wonder what exactly this friend of mine was searching for. Though affair obviously has a wide range of meanings, I can only think of the amorous kinds right now.

1. My friend is sorry about having an affair, and hence wants to mollify the person he is probably in a relationship with. (Bleedin’ obvious, I know.)

2. My friend decided to have an affair, and made a bad choice – let’s say Missy X. Missy X lacked passion, time or suitable inclination. Or became too clingy. So my friend goes around finding for the phrase attempting to pacify his heart. (What, you don’t read poetry to tide over a certain mood?)

3. Missy Y decided to ask my friend to have an affair with her. My friend who didn’t want to do a very harsh job of rejecting the affair-seeker, wanted to send a message that said, “sorry babe no affair possibility”.

4. My friend wrote a poem about having a torrid affair, and the poem wasn’t really appreciated. He is trying to figure out how other affair-poetry-writers manage to get out of murky situations. Hahaha…

None of these circumstances appear particularly pleasant. My dear friend, I hope you find the right way/idea/poem. Ahem, but if you did cheat on someone, a poem isn’t really going to do the trick. Trust me, I know.
