Like Love In Love

Like. Love. In Love. Three distinct states; frequently existing concurrently in the same heart.

Like. She appeals to me. I’m fond of her. I enjoy her presence. She has my eye.

Love. She’s dear to me. I care about her. I worry about her. I want to protect her.

In Love. I think of her passionately. I want to be with her. I want to touch her. I want her to care about me.

See what I mean. Separate, not equal. Like is fun, but sterile. Love is selfless, but terrible. In Love is selfish, but wonderful.
