Well played. Homophones can be so much fun, unless you’re the one trying to make sense of it.

Nice wordplay.

When he says “I’m not sure” … if it … “is such a good idea”, he’s lying – he knows – he is sure – because it is an “illicit affair”.

What does ILLICIT and TRYST mean?

That’s not what he wants to do to you.

Rendezvous me.

One time I dated a married woman when I was single. Her husband was gone a lot for business, so we were ‘safe’. But, I just couldn’t do it and had to break it off after two dates. I just can’t see how someone can do that without feeling guilty.

looks like they’ve got a relationship based on tryst…

Never had an illicit, always kept mine healthy, and isn’t a trYst four steps behind trUst?

“..Let’s tryst again, like we did last Summer…”

By the light of the silvery moon. I want to spoon. To my honey, I’ll croon love’s tune. Honey moon, keep a-shinin’ in June. Your silvery beams will bring love’s dreams. We’ll be cuddlin’ soon By the silvery moon. Sung by Doris Day, et al.

This is a marvelous set of comments !

For an illicit affair they’re standing too far apart
