1 - In front of the person you love, your heart beats faster, But in front of the person you like, you get happy.

2 - in front of the person you love, winter seems like spring. Butin front of the person you like, winter is just beautiful winter.

3 - If you look into the eyes of the one you love, you blush. Butif you look into the eyes of the one you like, you smile.

4 - In front of the person you love, you can't say everything on your mind. Butin front of the person you like, you can.

5 - In front of the person you love, you tend to get shy. Butin front of the person you like, you can show your own self.

6 - You can't look straight into the eyes of the one you love. Butyou can always smile into the eyes of the one you like.

7 - When the one you love is crying, you cry with them. Butwhen the one you like is crying, you end up comforting.

8 - The feeling of love starts from the eye Butthe feeling of like starts from the ear.

So if you stop liking a person you used to like, all you need to do is cover your ears. But if you try to close your eyes, love turns into a drop of tear and remains in your heart forever...

Note:
1. If you use sweet mava then you don’t add sugar because I thought that khajur were sweet enough.
