Love And Like
Love is unconditional, deeply rooted in the heart.
The time span is eternal both together and apart.
"Like" is inconstant caprice, whimsical or carious.
The duration's often brief, fanciful and various.
When you like the ones you love the relationships endure.
This is the strong foundation on which structures are secure.
True love for friends and family remains through thick and thin.
If the "like" diminishes it becomes discordant din.
Profound feelings for lovers are sustained if love is real.
"Once loved but no longer liked" the contact looses appeal.
When liking someone falters everything widens the breach.
Cling to the loving memories for the lessons they can teach.
The ideal combination is genuine love and like.
They withstand the rise and fall of floodwaters on the "dike."
