Sorta like being high. And codependent and reliant on someone else. Just being happy. Mostly. Except also, well, this is more a mutual thing--their problems are your problems; if they hurt, then you hurt. And if they're happy, you're happy.
But there is also a comedown which hurts the equivilent of how good it felt. Nothing stays up forever.
That puppy love is overrated. But, I would still qualify it as "deeply and truly". Mostly, except it's just hormones that fade over time. Then, if the people stick together, "love" takes on a much less romantic meaning: wanting to strangle them in their sleep, but being unable to, because they're kinda a part of you. Basically just like being roommates with someone.
I don't think that kind of thing happens, long-term. But, the beginning stages can be intoxicating: which is a good word for it.
Unless it's one-sided, with them deeply and truly loving you, but you don't love them. Then it's suffocating.
