Past the point of love

It’s starts with I LIKE THAT

When you first meet somebody, You find out they like you

First of all

A friend of a friend of a friend of theirs says he or she really really likes you and it kills you, floors you, send you to the ground.

you got to pick up yourself up off the ground.

Then you get their phone number

and you call them up

and you say “Yeah, thats a great phone conversation, Can I see you sometime?”

then they say this “I like that”

I LIKE THAT - makes you fall on the floor again, your hearts about to stop because of ”I LIKE THAT” nothing feels better that I like that, your blood pressure is going, your six feet off the ground, you can’t sleep because of I LIKE THAT

So you hang out for a while and you call, and you talk on the phone all the time, and you drop the bomb, it feels like the bomb

you say “You know what I’ve been thinking about you a lot”

and she goes “*Gasp* sorry..sorry..I’ve been thinking about you too” BAM!!

higher than the sky but now, I LIKE THAT *kaput* done

now you’re up to I’M THINKING ABOUT YOU

then however number of months pass, makes you comfortable saying it.

then you say “I’m in love with you”

and nothing in the world sounds lovelier than “I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU”

but now what doesn’t work?

I LIKE THAT and I’M THINKING ABOUT YOU

now were in love with you

then maybe someday we go to I LOVE YOU

fast forward now you go like “I love you a lot, I love you more anything in life”

Now I LOVE YOU doesn’t work

It’s a fresh only keys moving up

fast forward six months whatever the case maybe now your like “I WANNA MARRY YOU, I WANNA IMPREGNATE YOU WITH MY LOVE, I WANNA SEND MY LOVE TO YOU, DAMN IT WORDS DON’T EXPRESS ANYMORE”

and you say this next line

“I JUST WISH THEY PUT A NEW WORD IN THE DICTIONARY BIGGER THAN LOVE COS LOVE JUST DOESN’T DESCRIBE WHAT I FEEL”

and then he or she starts asking “Do you love me?”

and you start going to “of course I love you”

“well say it”, you say it two times, you say it three times

and then you cross a really interesting point we’re all the sudden it becomes

I HATE YOU

and then you go “Oh my God, She hates me”

and now its like “I HATE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING”

and its like “WERE OVER”

and then they go “NO WE’RE NOT!”

and then they go “YES WE ARE!”

and now the words do not work at all, your throwing punches underwater, your done

You know what the moral to that story is? never ever, ever, ever, EVER under-estimate the power of

“I LIKE THAT”
