Brings to mind a song wherein this question is posed: "is it too late now to say sorry?" Of course it might be too late to say sorry because some betrayals are impossible to forgive. When one uses promises like "later," time," & "patience" to say goodbye rather than outrightly calling it quits, thus putting the life of another on hold with false hopes & futile waiting, how does one recover from that by merely being told "sorry?" That sort of endeavor makes persons lose their capacity to trust. Not only does it make folks lose their capacity to trust, it sometimes makes certain folks take to lines of actions that render them untrustworthy themselves. So it happens that folks don't trust others to have their backs, while giving others no reason to trust them with theirs either.

Using promises like "later," time," & "patience" to say goodbye rather than outrightly calling it quits, thus putting the life of another on hold with false hopes & futile waiting is a foolish behavior that is only ascribable to players who suffer from the greatest poverty of sense, usually delusionally thinking that their foolish behaviors please wise lovers. So they zoom in & out of a lover's life at will, always expecting that the lover, being tender at heart, will always naively warm up to their antics. In worst case scenario, they'd simply apologize & get the ball rolling all over again. On what ground would players confidently expect one they've played to warm up to them simply because they utter the word "sorry?" Some players, envisioning themselves in that shoe, stated that "if one thinks for a second that they'd not quit their jobs to spend the rest of their lives rubbing their ex’s feet & packing their lunches if those exes promised to take them back, one would be dead wrong to think so, as there’s so many times one can shut a player out before a player stops trying to get in. Seems like a good line of defense for awkward behavior, doesn't it?

But the players had been thus queried: "is it worth it? Letting a player in when one knows one just makes it that much easier for the player to rip one apart? Seriously, what could be that good about a player to make that kind of risk worth it? Wouldn’t it be a smart move to end it when one has the chance? Especially after many failed efforts on the player's part at keeping things going with deception? Lovers are too smart to not know how rare & special they are. It is sometimes better to control oneself & refuse to give into impulses that the games of players plunge one into, because everyone knows it all games. So lovers don't play. When they play, they don't play to players' rules like they want. They play by their rules & like-minds tilt toward them. They pay little attention to the ripe words of players, who, like dogs & swine, are usually lost as regards what to do with sacred loving bonds that lovers bring to the table. So, when lovers cast their romantic pearls on them, their dog & swine attributes come to the fore, as they do nothing but trample lovers' sacred loving bond & romantic pearls under their feet, then turn to tear the lovers in pieces.

Hoping that a few ripe words here & there will gear a lover toward another phase of romantic spree after such experience because a lover will always have need of a significant other, sees players habitually exhibiting stupid behaviors & counting on lovers to equally act stupidly just to gain the favor of suitors. But they get the shocker of their lives when they stumble upon lovers who are content with having no suitors until very eligible ones come along with the exact knowhow as regards what to do with the sacred loving bond & romantic pearls that lovers always bring to the table.

It could be true that no one can fall in love if he or she is even partially satisfied with what he or she has or who he or she is, as the experience of falling in love is said to originate in an extreme depression & an inability to find something that has value in everyday life. More so, the symptom of the predisposition to fall in love is said to not be the conscious desire to do so nor the intense desire to enrich one's life. Rather, it is the profound sense of being worthless, of having nothing that is valuable, & of the shame of not having it. For this reason, falling in love occurs more frequently among young people, since youngsters are profoundly uncertain, unsure of their worth, & often ashamed of themselves. Thus, falling in love comes in handy for the young ones.

But then, should that be an occasion for the silly seducing games of players that end in tears? Indeed, once a woman's attention is fixed on a man, it is very easy for him to dominate her thoughts completely. But why only see an opportunity therein to play her? It would seem like the narrative is tailored to favor female lovers while bedeviling male players. But it's no different when it is vice versa. A male lover, fairly decrying female players, had thus recounted: "once she starts sending you voice notes with her little siblings in the background, just know it’s gotten shady. You may admire those little siblings of theirs because they know exactly what their older ones want & will do what it takes for them to get it. Plus, a couple of them read too many small-town romance novels & are convinced that the answers to their problems is having their own transformative experiences like their exes who give up thriving careers & move to the wilderness to go find happiness, leaving them with big baby bumps. Being true to what qualifies them as players, a couple of them do not care. So they just forge ahead & keep having fun with the baby bumps until the baby comes."

Such experience with players cause lovers much pain, & it is true that people who experience such pain or losses usually take to the habit of fleeing if one comes along & tries to inflict more of those on them because they’ve got enough in their own lives already & aren't open to taking more of it. It thus becomes instructive to players to surround those types with pleasure, as that puts them under the spell of players who surround them with pleasure...as a means of remedying the pain & losses they'd caused them, especially when they wouldn't warm up to "SORRYs" & "FORGIVE MEs," considering it too late for that. However, only those who lack purpose distract themselves with pleasure. But logically reasoning, on a scale of one to ten, what measure of true lovers are likely lack purpose in life? Aren't true lovers one of the least disappointing people one ever gets to meet? But players, with their silly games, make lovers they direly need, lovers they love, to leave.

Perhaps players, initially deeming lovers double-dealers like themselves, take to silly games as a means of playing safe & looking out for themselves. This, the lovers deem true love, thus opening up to the players, getting used so hard by the players, & so loving it because it doesn't in the least bit cross them that they're being used...until their attention is called to the true state of things, then they see things for what they are. Some lovers, being caught up in such situation, had their attention called to the true state of things & thus vented: "playing safe & we called it love? They should have played unsafe to hate us, then." The reply of those who called their attention to the true state of things was: "really? They should have played unsafe & not look out for themselves so they can hate you? Hahaha. They loved you, then. They could pretty much still be in love with you now...still playing safe, even safer. Is that not why you aren't together anymore?"

At such points, the bitterness that invades the hearts & souls of lovers, especially being that some betrayals are impossible to come back from, gets them viewing themselves as innocent victims whose innocence & lack of sophistication in worldliness had subjected them to the whim of foolish players. Being wise lovers who'd leveraged their wisdom to enrich & sustain loving affairs, turned out only thinking of deploying that wisdom in the devising of means to turn the table around & equally play the players who'd played them. Truly, he that walks with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. As it turned out, foolish players who had been so acclaimed for notoriety in the art of seduction & the game of power—got pitiably seduced & subdued by wise lovers, thus the heralding of the masses that "players have been played by lovers." This saw players coming upon lovers with "SORRYs" & "FORGIVE MEs" the lovers wouldn't pay a bit of attention to.

Players had projected their baseness as being responsible for the attraction of everyone of their victims to them. But the latter outcome of events with lovers who they claimed got attracted to them on account of their baseness—got the masses asking: "if baseness attracts everybody & you are trying to put it to us that these lovers are base, how come they are nowhere near any of you? How come they'd rather banter you than accept your SORRYs & FORGIVE MEs? How come their banter isn't optional? How come your SORRYs & FORGIVE MEs are completely ruled out? How come no apologies...only banters?" Players, not wanting to come off as being so easily & cheaply played for the fools they actually are, attempted an offensive word-battle with the lovers. But the lovers wouldn't have it.

PLAYERS
Among the lovers who hate us for seducing & getting them played, none has a Mercedes Benz nor is financially stable like we thought when we made moves on them. Only high number of body counts. So none of them can say they were there when we had nothing. We'd put them in spots where they had no place to go, & they died before fleeing. Now all they can think of is to clap back at us direly.

LOVERS
Truth is: you played us, we played you, no point hiding it...nor to bother explaining, but to get played again, will you? Or, will your fear of us clapping back direly again not let you? Brave up!

PLAYERS
It’s time for you to go. Call it quits with the games.

LOVERS
Call it quits with the games? Why now? Why not then...when you made us lose in a game we never played? A game we knew nothing about. A game you wouldn't tell us about. Yet severally made us come off as losers. Now that we've gotten into the game, played, & won, you want us to call it quits? You just want us out so you can hide your shame while counting your many loses. Call it what it is.
We will, though, so you can get to it already. It's not all bed of roses with you after all...where we would get to revel in sweet lovey-dovey while making confessions of guilty pleasures. That’s why there are no occasions for good memories between someone & someone else...just sexualized relationships from past & present between whoever & whoever...which isn’t supposed to be our business.

PLAYERS
Of course not! We just won’t make you do anything you don’t want to do.

LOVERS
You're not going to make us do anything we don’t want to do? Yet even listening to you say so to us is something we don't want to do...which you are making us do...& we are supposed to believe you’re not going to make us do anything we don’t want to do? You tempters, trying to lure us to our deaths under the guise of hearty concern. Isn’t that your seducing tactics? But to what end, since none of us has a Mercedes Benz nor is financially stable like you thought when you made moves on us? For mere conquest? Like Cleopatra did to Caesar? So you can brag about having caused the fall of the mighty? & you’re determined to do so? By having multiple sex with us just to achieve that feat? Well, you'll have to shag a whole world of us to achieve that feat because we are many.

Impressed by the lovers' systematic handling of the situation, those who had called their attention to the true state of things when the players were having their fill getting the lovers played, deeming their whistle blowing to have served a noble cause, again called the lovers' attention to another set of beings who, unlike them, wouldn't call their attention to the state of things, though being privy to what the players were doing to them. Hence, heralding the lovers for having put the players in their place, they urged them to do same to those set of persons who are very likely to come upon them with "SORRYs" & "FORGIVE MEs" when it's late, for, when apologies would have remediated prevailing inequities, they rather aggravated those inequities. Now it's too late for "SORRYs" & "FORGIVE MEs," & it's only fair that those lots get a taste of their medicine so they'd learn to always do the needful when occasions to do the needful arise. The lovers were told:

"note that certain lots preferred remaining ghosts to you when you needed tangible experiences. Therefore, if they happen to later on come out of the shadows because their ghostly antics failed to afford them their desired result & seek to leverage tangible relations with you for whatever purpose, no matter how "noble," treat them as ghosts...not to mention those who rather remained ghosts, come what may, but now keenly seek to form a sort of rapport with you...treat them as dead things. Damn their apologies & make them live with the fact that it's too late for SORRYs & FORGIVE MEs.
