You can like a person without loving them.
You can love a person without liking them.
I have had people in my life in each category. Much, and many more, in the first one. Like is simple and potentially immediate...love takes time. Liking comes and goes, waxes and wanes...love should not, at least not frequently.
I have liked people and later changed my mind as I got to know them...and disliked people to change my mind for the same reason.
I have loved people, but seldom, very seldom, have I quit of loving. As it should be. It is so very strange when you realize that you no longer love someone. That realization occurred to me today, suddenly, without fanfare or sadness. It has been a long time coming.
