Love, is both a steroid capable of amazing things, and a curse capable of crippling the strongest of hearts. There are different theories of what make us "love", and we haven't found an exact answer as to why we percieve this. Some say it's a psychological matter we are put under when we're born and raised, and others say it's an chemical reaction in our brains. Dopamine, which is called the Happy Chemical, is released in our brains whenever we do something our body believe is good, and as thus we feel good. However, Love does a very interesting thing to this chemical, and isn't quite sure when to release itself.

What the effects are can be quite potent. Sweatdrops, an increase of heart rate and body temperature, loss of words, to complete loss of rationality. You feel bothered, and when you finally show your feelings they are temporarily released. However, when rejected, you feel defeated or sad to some extent; Whether it be a shrug off or crying into your pillow for two weeks.

Love to me, is what you make of it. That said, you could "Love" someone, "Love to be around someone", and more variants of love. It could simply be a friendship you don't want to end, to an intimate relationship with someone you found to spend the rest of your days with. It could even be the pining love for someone you just can't confess to. One thing is for sure though:

Love is something dangerous to mess with. A powerful emotion capable of bringing both the best and worse out of people.
