love, fire, hate

[fuse_rocks]

love is like a fire.
with it's warm and glowing presence.
it grows when it is given time
and space from all around it.
but if you get to close sometimes
you can end up burnt by it.

hate is like a fire.
with it's hot and raging existence.
it will consume almost anything
that will try to get in it's path.
and it will grow everytime
and only give a laugh.

so let me ask you this,
though it pains me almost to much.
is love like hate and hate like love,
both just as cruel to touch?
