Compatibility is the result of efforts made by lovers to accommodate each other’s needs. And companionship is the result of good comparability. However love above all is a feeling of pure intention to give. As long as that’s there, a person will always feel loved, understood and supported. And that’s what all one needs. So, where there’s friendship, love will always find its way back”.
