A deceitful lover is ALL EARS when you speak to him. He PULLS YOUR LEG by saying that you can LET YOUR HAIR DOWN with him because he cares a lot about you. Then, you SMILE FROM EAR TO EAR. You know you’re OFF ON THE WRONG FOOT but you turn a BLIND EYE.

WALLS HAVE EARS and you find out later on that he has been having an affair with your best friend. You ask yourself how you could be such an idiot to let this happen UNDER YOUR NOSE. You tell your lover to GET OFF YOUR FACE which is understandably a KNEE-JERK reaction. But in such an instance, you realize you must PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN and must always be ON YOUR TOES against fools who pose as lovers. ARMING YOURSELF TO THE TEETH could be OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD but that’s taking it too far.

You and your lover no longer see each other EYE-TO-EYE. What was once the APPLE OF YOUR EYE becomes a PAIN IN THE ASS. Your relationship takes a NOSEDIVE. Your lover decides to apologize but gets BUTTERFLIES IN HIS STOMACH before he actually does. But he does it anyway. He stutters and fails to recall the words he rehearsed which are just on the TIP OF HIS TONGUE. At the end of his emotional speech, he promises to make it up to you if you can just OPEN YOUR HEART to him once more.

Think, girl! You can’t be ALL THUMBS in dealing with this. Don’t go OUT ON A LIMB for this. It’s not worth it. If you’re not such an idiot, do you really think taking him back will take the problem OFF YOUR CHEST? You can’t take him back with a CHIP ON YOUR SHOULDER. BITE YOUR TONGUE lest you you say something you’ll regret for the rest of your life.

Falling in love is like a game. MAKE NO BONES ABOUT IT. When you go out to the playing field, you win some, you lose some. It will take time before you finally HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. Meanwhile, FIND YOUR FEET, keep your CHIN UP and WEAR YOUR HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE. Go, girl! BREAK A LEG.

Now, it’s time to GET MY NOSE OUT OF someone else’s business.
