The Sweet, Sour, Bitter, and Spicy Side of Love

To like someone is to have them secretly love you.

To secretly love someone is to be loved.

Love is a game of pursuit and being pursued. Once it begins, it never stops. Only when life ends does love cease.

Every unspoken affection is a secret love born of admiration.

Love is tempered by time, growing from distant to deep. It is like yogurt left to ferment, with a sweet-and-sour aftertaste that lingers in your heart, making it impossible to forget so easily.
