Opposites

Up is the opposite of down
Square is the opposite of round

Good is the opposite of bad
Mom is the opposite of Dad

What is the opposite of love?
Well. there is none that I know of

But you will say, ‘it must be hate’
But that just might be a mistake

Use the word love instead of like
In that sense, you’re probably right

But love, a word taken two ways
On your emotions it can play
 
Love, you can “fall in” or “fall out”
But hate, fall in or out, I doubt

NOTE: There is a fine line between "love" and "like"
