Translation So something has happened and you are not quite sure What it is your woman is thinking Don’t be confused or fret overlong You only need a translation. Just look at the words without the distraction The emotion of the moment The words stripped bare of the soothing tones The dress up of dissimulation This isn’t working ... (you guessed it) You’re Dumped I wasn’t ready for this ... I was only playing I’ve got too much on ... You’re not worth the time I’m so busy ... Won’t/can’t share my life with you It’s not you it’s me ... You’re not ‘enough’ for me I’m sorting my priorities ... And you are not there (does she have a pet?) I need time for family ... There is none left over for you I want you to be a friend ... We’ll never be really close I’ll understand if ‘friendship’ is too hard ... I don’t really care, just being polite It’s not fair to you ... Wish you’d choose to go away I’m confused ... There is someone else No matter how it is dressed or dissembled The results are clear to see. See them sooner boys and perhaps retain A semblance of dignity, Remember men, (a word of caution) there is no real difference between romantic persistence and stalking . For the women who read this, Embarrassed, outraged! Your mood is prompted by memories. A reason please, men can take honesty, But can you admit your mistakes? © T. Arnold
