Confused

Liking & Loving are two words that are related so closely,

That we end up confused while using these words mostly.

Liking someone generally takes a hell of a time,

While Loving someone happens instantaneously most time.

Loving a person after Liking is commonly heard,

While Liking a person after Loving sounds absurd.

Some say to love someone is to love unconditionally,

But the fact is that saying is not easy to follow actually.

After liking a person, one would definitely not want to be the cause of their hurt,

But to prevent it from happening invariably, one should always stay alert.

There's no point blaming the opposite person for any mess,

When the feelings to that person are not really expressed.

Liking a person is something i have felt and have expressed,

But loving that person is something i have left unaddressed.

Difference between liking and loving has left me confused.

And it really seems i have come out of this more bruised.
