The effect of a chemical released into your bloodstream after being triggered by a certain chain of events is the most important element in your life.
In short, love is the most important chemical in your life.
I dunno...my $0.02. :-D
PS. I love love too.

Infatuation is chemical, love is relational and spiritual.

But love is an emotion. It's a feeling. It's something that sweeps over your body just like any other...it's just a more favored emotion. All emotions come from chemicals your body creates. How does one describe love? They will most likely begin their sentence with "I feel". If the part of your brain that controlled the release of the "love chemical" failed, you wouldn't know love. You wouldn't feel it. It wouldn't exist to you. You can't describe love without describing a feeling.

now if love wasn't a reaction,
if it had no beginning or end;
how would you define it?

I look at love from a much wider perspective.
Grasses and shrubs growing almost effortlessly out of the ground, is love.
Ocean waves splashing up against the shore and then slowly receding back into the sea, is love.
The clouds forming and evaporating in seemingly random yet harmonious patterns, is love.
The majestic planets and moons orbiting the center of our solar system, is love.
Giving to another person without expecting anything in return, for the sole reason that you appreciate him or her for who he or she truly is, is love as well.
The feeling accompanying love is indeed caused by a chemical reaction in your body. However at a much larger scale, the ultimate cause of it is this micro/macro - cosmic force which allows all things existant to work in their harmonious, balancing, and self-regulating ways.
Love, in my eyes, should not be narrowed down to just an emotion. It certainly can act in the form of an emotion, but that is not what it is.
Love is just, Love.

Love is the realization of the inevetability of itself.
-------------------- The argent messenger of truth beyond truth, the antithesis of life, cruel and bleak as interstellar space, pulseless and frozen as absolute zero, dazzling with the frost of irrefragable logic and unforgettable fact.

So do all thoughts, and all actions, if you reduce them to the electrochemical level. We use our brain to send instructions, whether the instruction is to sing an opera or to run a marathon.
The chemicals are messengers, and love is the message. I believe that our soul sends the message. It is no more accurate to say that love is a chemical reaction than it is to say that a book is the paper it is printed on, or art is the canvas it is painted on.
