Unexpected Tokens

Though the words, you have rarely spoken.
                            You present unexpected tokens.

     With my kiss, your intent percepted.
                            Your apology is accepted.





Added note after contest judging:
My husband rarley says "I'm Sorry"  He does however leave 
me little tokens that say it just as loud.  A single Rose.  
Bringing me home an ice cream bar.  A silly card.
Doing the dishes that night, stc.
