The literal metaphor

Of all metaphors, one of the hardest to understand was the one of stealing a heart.

But, the more affection and light I had, the more I realized it was actually a literal metaphor.

When someone steals your heart, with the light in their eyes, that person literally has it, without saying, without begging, without trying.

It's a way of stating

Hey
If Nature ever hurts you
And your heart explodes
Don't worry
Just wait a second
You can still have mine
