The Bug
Is Love a compulsion, the sudden idea that this person,
no others, will meet all your need and make you happy.
It is a moment, falling in love only happens once when
you are among the blessed and anointed by the gods.
For some, the illusion lasts a lifetime for others it falls
at the first hurdle of familial tediousness.
Luckily love is transferable you meet someone else who
will make you happy but it will not be the same as first
time, no matter how many times you try to love, is a gift
only given once, the rest is a repetition

I dunno bout that conclusion, Oskar. I know this is a poem vs essay; however, the philosophy doesn't ring true for me in this one.
Maybe our first love opens the door to our hearts and either grows or prepares us for the next. Maybe we think we're in Love but really are experiencing a contrast preparing to reveal what love is. While there are varying degrees of Love from puppy to serious, the last love can be the best, and most different to experience.
