Love is not returnable ……

There are no refunds.

No money-back guarantees.

One cannot "transact" love as

One transacts a business deal.

For love is not a thing.

It has no mass, no volume, no weight.

It cannot be made to order or paid for in advance.

Love comes unbidden and stays past its expiration date.

It recklessly risks everything without regret and

It pays dividends for life.

But it cannot be bought.

Only given.

And once given, it can never be ungiven..
