Love and hearts

We should aim for the heart when we love

When we love, we aim for the heart.

We tend for our love to enter the heart and stay there. 

We tend to become part of the other person's life. 

We tend to make our love public. 

We tend to make our love part of our lives. 

Because love isn't just a word; it's more than that. 

It's not just we don't love. 

It's just that we don't love enough. We don't hit the heart with our love. 

We hit the brain. And this is not enough for the love to stay. 

It's not enough for love to be called true love.
