It starts with acquaintance.

It grows to learning.

It quickly turns to words that ignore patience.

Spoken from the head.

Spoken from the heart.

Obsession is next.

With wanted or unwanted thoughts always lingering.

Thoughts that feed a burning flame.

Thoughts that eventually turn to passion.

An intense passion.

These thoughts can drive one mad.

Now tell me…

Was it hatred?

Or was it love?
