Love can not be given with the <br />expectation of love in return. For, 'pure love' <br />must mutually be given. There is no 'taker' <br />only those who 'give' can receive the <br />gift of love. <br />© Joe Fazio<br /><br />(brief renderings) Joe Fazio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/expectation-13/
