Not Any Difference

To me, love is a much harsher feeling 
than the others,
On the other hand,
How would we feel 
if we looked back to see 
how many times we fell in love
and our hearts were hurt, 
also, how long it lasted 
before we felt
a deep sense of disappointment

In some ways,
we all have a lot in common 
even with butterflies and bees,
As we know, they are seen to land
on different flowers,
some on lilies
some on roses
some on tulips
some on daffodils
and so on

Now, please let me know
if there is one 
who has ever seen 
even a bee or a butterfly 
stay on the chest of a flower
for ever,
If not, 
then, tell me why not?

And from this point of view
is there any difference between
the hearts of our own
and those of the bees
and the butterflies,
I guess you'll say "absolutely not";

In fact,
What a heart wishes,
as long as it beats,
is a single thing,
just to love and to be loved
by a heart 
that is believed to know 
how to love,
The rest?
