Teenage Love : Armed and Dangerous

"I love you."
"I love you more."
"I can't live without you."
"You are my everything."
"My baby."
"Sweetheart."
"Querida."
"When we get married..."
"I'll love you forever."
"I'm always here for you."
"You're my only one."
"I love you."

These are the words most of us long to hear, but what are they, really? What is this overwhelming feeling? How can something one is completely sure of suddenly fill them up with doubt? An avoided glance, a missed telephone call, an IM conversation gone drastically wrong, are enough to send one, shaking in anger, and trembling in fear, over the edge.

My question is : why?

What is this sensation we call love? Happiness, sadness, tears, laughter, kisses, jumping hearts, holding hands, ripped-up letters, firey stares, blaring music, beauty, dreams, and above all, pain. What is this love, and why do most of the people on the face of the planet strive for it?
