My Favorite Metaphor of Love

My favorite metaphor of love has to be "She swept me off of my feet."  The metaphor, she swept me off of my feet is being compared to nature.  A metaphor is a figure of speech where a word is compared to another object or action which is not applicable.  For example love can represent a hurricane, storm, wind, tornadoes, or a flood.  Love can be compared to a lot of things, but one of the most common things it is compared to is nature and the world.  In my opinion the term she swept me off of my feet means that the love that this individual felt for this girl had a strong enough that figuratively blew him off of his feet. It pretty much means that the love felt from an individual was very lust.  It can also mean that someone has fallen in love with someone deeply and instantly.  I believe when someone says she swept me off my feet it leans toward falling in love with her instantly instead of later on in the relationship.
     I relish the metaphor she swept me off my feet because it is more of a short term love instead of something that last forever.  It is short term because figuratively a persons love can blow by you and sweep you off your feet, but literally gravity will pull that person right back down.  This metaphor refers to more of a girl friend boyfriend type of love while many others like "she is a part of him" refer more to the husband and wife type of love or relationship.  At this age, marriage is way out of the picture, which is why my favorite metaphor is "she swept me off of my feet."
     Being young is not the only reason why she swept me off my feet is my favorite metaphor of love.  Another reason is because it can be compared to nature, and i absolutely love nature.  I am fascinated and motivated by nature.  I love hiking and going to the beach.  I also like camping and riding on boats after a long day and the best feeling in the world is cold wind blowing on your sunburnt skin.  Being swept of your feet by love can be compared to being swept of your feet by wind.  One is realistic to a certain degree and the other is literally impossible which makes the term she swept me off my feet a metaphor.  Being swept of your feet can also be compared to a storm or a tornado.  Again one is realistic, the other is not.
     Nature and being young is not the only reason why she swept me off of my feet is my favorite metaphor of love.  Another reason is because it is usually instantly and deep.  I believe in love at first sight and in my opinion, she swept me off of my feet is the way to put love at first sight in to words.  Falling in love instantly means that there would be no need for waiting on anything.  For example, instead of a person trying to do everything he or she can to impress his or spouse, there would be no need for that since there is already instant love.  Love at first sight is hard to put in to words and i my opinion she swept me off of my feet is the best way to describe it.
     Love is special.  Not everybody finds loves and an even smaller amount of people find it instantly after meeting another person, which makes the metaphor "She swept me off of m feet" my favorite metaphor of love.
