Ok. Since you seem to be genuine, I’ll put in the work.
Proper nouns don’t get automatically separated; they get capitalized.
Maybe I’m reading too deep into “the proper noun of this”, but a proper noun is not generally a structural component of a sentence. Properness is an aspect of a noun.
‘True love’ is the ‘subject’ of the sentence, but it is not normally considered a proper noun. A proper noun is the title or name of a noun, such as: Brian, Marseilles, or Shake Weight.
You may be misapplying the rule about directly addressing someone (or something). You would write: “Jimmy, get down from there,” or “Get down from there, Jimmy,” but you wouldn’t write “I’m going to, Walmart, for groceries.” This usage is often a proper noun, but it doesn’t need to be, such as in “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.”
Can’t read past the superfluous comma. Send help
Just picture it in William Shatners voice.
Shoot thats exactly the voice to read this in
Yes! And we can all agree that Shatner never added an unnecessary pause. ❤️
Is it? Seems like it being the proper noun of this, it would be separated in proper grammar by a comma.
I… I can’t tell if you are trolling or genuinely confused.
I had a question mark. I can’t tell if you are trying to be unhelpful or just trolling.

Yeah meant subject, meh, my English teacher grandmother would be as equally frustrated with me as she has always been.
But also I would still argue True Love is a proper noun of a named thing. We all recognize it as a component of a spell or a macguffin of a story.
So in this case I am providing a definition of a word such as one for a spelling bee. Thus it introduces a pause when spoken.
