Symbolism of Love


When referring to love we use the symbolism of a heart

Love is not a muscle like the heart

Love is like an organ

We need it

We live for it

And it's what keeps us alive when nothing else does

Love is not a muscle that pumps blood through us

Love is what keeps us breathing

So i will request that when referring to love say lungs

I love you with all my heart but actually i love you

with my lungs because without you i can't breathe

and my lungs that you with every breath i take

because you make their job easier

because you truly are what keeps me alive

You are why i breath and for that my restless lungs thank you
