To whom it may concern,
The steam engine uses the force produced by the pressure of water in the gas phase to push a piston back and forth inside a cylinder and transforms the pushing force into a rotational one in order to perform work. Discovering this was pleasing because the evaporation of water can seem everyday, small, and gentle but when properly applied can be used move a train. It is at this point that I would like to try a metaphor: Love, like the steam rising from a cup of tea, can power a city, can change the world. That is pretty straight forward, but metaphors can be trickier than steam engines. I can say that when I am with you, happiness like a devastating tsunami crashes against the city of my heart, and my respect for you, like a manic tiger throws itself against the cage of good manners, and that my fondness like a determined mountain climber, having abandoned all equipment, presses on to the summit, preferring death to failure. What is familiar about figures of speech can provide a comfort in order to allow greater clarity for what is different, though I do not think that steam engines work as a matter of how you look at them like metaphors do. Building steam engines and mixing metaphors both have some practical applications, and so does falling in love with you, but that not why I did it.
As always,
