Love is a choice. It is the active choosing of good for another person. But like? It is a gift and it cannot be forced. The degree to which we like each other cannot be overstated. Though I won’t deny that we fell fast and hard into love as well. We laugh at the same things and he pretends to be long-suffering about my outspokenness, but I know it delights him. He is my match and I am his and we are both well aware of this.
