An Agreement of Love

An act of kindness unperceived 
Love freely offered not received 
A thoughtful deed offered to ease 
Pain of words from those who tease 
A kindly gesture from a friend 
Advice and help from those who’ll lend 
A means and chance to help me mend 
And lift me up least I descend 
when all was said I’d hoped you’d sway 
And not dismiss these words away 
At last we finally both agree 
That I love you 
And you don’t love me 

From the book:  Absorbed By The Sun

Who wrote the absorbed by the sun?? Sad when love is not returned....but keep looking and a true love will arise.
