A chemical reaction does happen and it reinforces whatever feeling (?) or whatever it was that caused it to happen, causing more of those chemicals to be released and creating a continuous feedback loop but what happens with your brain chemistry cannot just happen in a vacuum, out of nowhere and with nothing to cause it. If we knew what that initial thing was, we wouldn't be wondering about it since forever and all that poetry and music that mankind has created through the ages wouldn't exist, the mystery would have been solved and disappeared. The origin of love and how that initial spark is triggered will still keep us wondering and guessing, maybe forever.

And I think it's better that way. Sometimes it's better not to know... some mysteries should remain mysteries. What would the world be like if we knew everything?

Yes. Imagine the "perfectly scientific answer" to a heartfelt "I Love You" would be "It's just your chemicals talking, they're the same as in everyone else's brain and it's not even something of your own making, you're being tricked and we all are, it's not your own feeling and not specific to myself. "
There is no love that is truly exactly like any other love.

it's subjective because everyone feels it differently but love will always be the same for you, or it'll not be true love
