Weird + random alert! To all those who do not appreciate abstract thinking: Proceed at risk of disgust!
Anyway... Here it is.

Love is one of the strongest emotions extant. It can be manifested in so many ways that it's sometimes nearly unrecognizable. Love is an emotion usually associated with the heart. This springs from an correlation of the greatest emotion with the foremost bodily organ, in which it is often felt. Emotions are just as often manifested in a different location, however; e.g., the stomach.
When you see her, your stomach tightens (the good way).
When she flirts, your stomach spawns butterflies.
When she smiles, your stomach sticks in your throat.
When she says you're cute; double butterflies.
When she says she likes you as more than a friend, your stomach ties itself in knots, thus squashing your
lungs and rendering you incapable of breathing.
When you kiss, your stomach fills with butterflies, ties itself in knots, squashes your lungs, and makes your head explode.
...
Skip all the happy bits in the middle.
...
When she becomes distant, your stomach fills with rocks, permanently.
When she leaves, your stomach fills with bile, and,
When she marries some other guy, your stomach explodes, and you die inside.
So perhaps we should rethink our associations.
Stomach emoticon, anyone?
