yes, he is talking about an affair. everything that has been posted thus far is very true, when we are younger. i can recall these situations growing up and in college, and some were as magical as the imagery of the song depicts. however as we get older, these best friends of our get married and the opportunities dwindle. the line "go back to your man", she may be married, or just in a relationship; regardless this off chance has presented itself, "so here we are". true love is wanting what is absolutely the best for that other person, and sometimes that does not include mine, yours, or who evers involvement with them......"but just for tonight". look carefully at the meaning of a “rouge kiss”, he knows this is wrong because of her involvement, but he can not control his desires……”but just for tonight”.
