I've found a verse in my email box which is from myself. To be fair, it was from my work email address because I found the verse when I was supposed to be working...(but I've never skived from work, for my defence!)
I'm posting it as my own reminder and to share it with you who may be wondering about this sort of thing.
"In front of the person you love your heart beats faster,
but in front of the person you like you get happy.
In front of the person you love winter seems like spring,
but in front of the person you like winter is just beautiful winter.
If you look into the eyes of the one you love you blush,
but if you look into the eyes of the one you like you smile.
In front of the person you love you can't say everything on your mind,
but in front of the person you like you can.
In front of the person you love you tend to get shy,
but in front of the person you like you can show your own self.
The person you love comes into your mind every 2 minutes,
you can't look straight into the eyes of the one you love.
But you can always smile into the eyes of the one you like.
When the one you love is crying you cry with them,
but when the one you like is crying you end up comforting.
The feeling of love starts from the eye,
and the feeling of like starts from the ear.
So if you stop liking a person you used to like all you need to do is cover your ears,
but if you try to close your eyes, love turns into a drop of tear and remains in your heart"
After all, we can't get rid of the feeling from our heart if it is a "love" even if it is not a successful one. It roots deep down and stays there for a long time....
