Metaphor Vs Simile

Assalamualaikum..

Lil' brief the meaning of metaphor and simile. Both looks same but actually there is a differences.
Metaphor is the concept of understanding one thing in terms of another. A metaphor is a figure of speech that constructs an analogy between two things or ideas; the analogy is conveyed by the use of a metaphorical word in place of some other word.

Meanwhile, the definition of simile is:
A simile is a figure of speech that indirectly compares two different things by employing the words "like", "as", or "than".Even though similes and metaphors are both forms of comparison, similes indirectly compare the two ideas and allow them to remain distinct in spite of their similarities, whereas metaphors compare two things directly.

Here, the examples of metaphor:

~love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs
