Love is like a fire. First, it starts out small, then you add more to it, and it shoots out in all different directions and people can see it from miles away. Day and night; rain or shine. Unless, you're love is just starting out, and you get trouble, it's difficult to rekindle the fire. But if you have a large amount of love, a little rain never tears it completely down. You must maintain a fire to keep your body warm and rekindle love to keep your heart warm.
Love is like a flower. The petals are chances that we give people and we have to be careful because we run out of them. The middle (our heart) is extremely vulnerable to be destroyed by the outside world if made of seeds (tears). They fall away and are never seen again. This isn't necessarily a bad thing though because seeds sprout new things and we will always find new love. One flower cannot represent only one love but a creation of new desires. It represents the number of chances we give people and if none of them work out, our heart breaks then repairs itself with new love in different places. Same as plant seeds flying all of the world and sprouting in different places. Beginning with one person with our love as one plants sparks the creation of a garden.
