Gives me a chance to make a few comments of my own! I would agree that people love to fulfil some need, some area of their being which needs the presence of another. We call this love for the sake of convenient terminology but perhaps it is just a way of actualizing the possibilities of one's own being. We are all born with certain traits which make us different from others. Somehow we get involved in the exercise of creating an identity different from others and we do it all our lives. This is called living. In this process, we need others to show us what our identity is. Love is the most emphatic way of affirming that we exist. I don't believe that we love anyone... We only love the fact that someone has recognized our existence and thus affirmed it. There's nothing wrong with this. This is just the way the cookie crumbles. Sounds too metaphysical to be true? Perhaps. I never said I know it all! Very interesting analysis of love. Gives me a chance to make a few comments of my own!
