It’s a wonderful thing when you find someone to love and have them love you back. It’s a blessing to like the way you love. We often get so caught up in love that we never learn to like the person, first. Most people are in love with the idea of being in love that they fail to understand what it means to like someone. To like someone means learning them. You like them in their good moments and in their bad. You like them not for who they are, but who they are not. And, when they display those things that you don’t like, you ask yourself if love can tolerate them. Liking someone takes something beyond the physical and above the emotional, yet, still having nothing to do with the sexual; however, it embraces the mental part of that person. When the feeling of being in “love” fades and there is nothing left, not a tear, not an ounce of pain, just emptiness, then you’ve missed out on something special. When you find yourself being enemies, the “like” factor was never there.
