    About this ebook

    Love unrequited leaves no option but poetry. Thus I obey and my feelings be known. Though private thoughts and private words, this collection is shared with the wish that others may find voice for their own emotions. In this regards, love may flourish. The third in the series, the work continues that love may be realized in all its guises.
