It's new and has never been b r o k e n
It has the walls of cardboard protecting it
and the twisty wires keeping it from venturing too far
There is a little sample of it on the outside of the box that you can feel, but it only gives you an idea what it feels like to love
To get that love you have to invest in it, it's not free
and love is a one way street.
when it goes both ways, it's magical
hearts are on the shelves waiting to be picked up and loved, but the ones in the back are unlucky
They collect dust and hide behind all the other hearts
Maybe their boxes are dented or scratched so the prettier boxed toys were put in the front rows
easy to reach
it's funny how kids want to invest their love to the hearts on the shelves, but are too short to reach and adults are too quick to check the price tag first.
once you find that heart you would empty your savings account for and your ready to take it to the cashier,
wether you have to push past other hearts to the back of the shelf, or find it hidden in an unexpected aisle or hide it behind other hearts so you can come back to it when your ready
you have to be ready to invest all you've got.
because after you've read the directions there is still going to be times you don't know how to take care of it, or you are frustrated with it, or it makes you sad
but don't forget why you invested in that heart, you can't return it
Returns aren't accepted for eternity
hearts are mendable
luckily it has a lifetime
I can get it fixed
This entire idea is so cool.

Ohhhhh so good. Too many good lines, but I'll settle for this one.

This whole thing is really really good
Ah such a beautiful analogy. I've read this like five times now and it just keeps getting better
