But a Game

Love is but a game of false dice, sweet lies and oaths to tame pretty rebels for astute, overmastering gentlemen - harsh, dishonest and less in love, who loan affection with interest and measure passion like coin recompense.

This is very true for those who consider love to be a game played for sport, BUT not everyone considers love to be a game... Happy New Year, Anais, and here's to hoping 2022 will be the best eve! John

Happy New Year, dear John. =] I was reading about Ghislaine Maxwell‘s conviction and of course Jeffrey Epstein is the quintessential overmastering gentlemen.
