Anna.. Torn between two lovers huh? If I were you.. I will still follow my mind. There are a lot of things in your mind that your heart is not aware of.

I can see where non Turkish speakers get confused on issues related to LOVE. How can one ever fall in love, with a language say like English, where love is assumed to operate either from the brain or the heart ?
Love is an abstract notion that is way too noble to reside in mere lumps of blood&tissue.
As always, the wise old language of Turks offer the solution: LOVE is nested neither in the brain nor the heart. Neither is wide enough.
Turkish language suggests that LOVE resides in and operates from one's 'GÖNÜL'.
If you can ever figure out what exactly GÖNÜL is, let me know too.

Mind over heart = not in love
Heart over mind = stupid or masochistic
Mind + heart = desirable equation

That is it guys,
'GÖNÜL' must be a combination one's mind and heart, in an abstract and spiritual sense...sort of like a joint-venture

Mis Ceyda..
The beginning of a Turkish song for you; may come in handy one day, if you can figure out what it means.
Gönlümün sahibi sensin,
Orda yanlız sen varsın...
Benim için sen herşeysin,
Neş'esin, baharsın...
Ömür geçip de saçlarıma
Beyazlar dolsa bile,
Benim için sen herşeysin
Neş'esin, baharsın...
