"one" Or the "other"

As ONE grows stronger
the feelings are so devine,
As the OTHER does the same
your clock loses time...

ONE feels great 
just as it should,
the OTHER causes pain 
just as burning timbers of wood...

ONE takes Faith
and Understanding for one another,
the OTHER takes control of your mind, body and soul
and your heart it will smoother...

ONE makes you smile
and eager to share your life,
the OTHER makes you frown 
and will cut you like a knife...

ONE makes you happy
and fulfills your every need,
the OTHER will make you angry
and cause your heart to bleed...

ONE will make your life worth while
and fill your every desire,
the OTHER will make you miserable
and set all your goals on fire...

I would definitely choose ONE
anytime over THE OTHER,
cause ONE gives you hope 
and THE OTHER will cause you to lose a brother...

ONE I have called 'LOVE'
with it you will become someone,
THE OTHER I called 'HATE'
it will leave you all alone...
