LOVE AND LIKE

Like and love, are poles apart
Both have rights, within a heart
Yet unconditional, comes to mind
Thinking of love, all-giving kind

Can one truly love, but never like
After pain-sorrow, emotions fight
Superior belief, I can't see how
Sharing life space, without a vow

For those that love, also defend
No doubt to others, more than friends
Decisions made, with knock-on-affect
Special romance, personally select

Is the more powerful, love or to like
Mirrored emotions, compare a kite
Soaring love, unconditional-unique
The truest of emotion, all seek

Only feeling, that wraps to hold
Shared by two, remaining bold
Special bond, triggered by touch
Shared senses, to another clutch

About this poem:
I was asked what is the most powerful...love or like?
Surely they are usually linked?

It's like some of my relatives - I love them but I don't always like the things they do, think and act. I guess I feel I have to love them even though their not lovable? When in reality - some of them I really can't stand? laugh banana Don't know if that makes sense. Therefore - guilty torn feelings set in. dunno confused Anyways - emotions of love/like/dislike seem to blend in together sometimes and feelings can get confusing. Does any of this make sense. Feel like I'm babbling! doh P.S. Great write.

I think love is much stronger than like and it can also play with your emotions. Marriage is a good thing, as long as you are with the right person.kiss teddybear

I think the word love drive ppl to an illusion that could have unpleasant consequences..so be carefull when use it, in any case it has short life, while I can use the word like without restrictions
