In 360
B.C.E. Plato wrote, “Love is a mental illness.”
Modern
science has since given weight to this claim with studies
that show
similarities occurring in brain events involving love and lunacy.
Our
romance is a chemical dance between dopamine,
adrenaline,
and serotonin.
So when I
tell you that every time I smell sandalwood on your skin,
hear your
name from another’s lips, feel your breath on my neck,
see your
face;
I’m a
wreck because my brain lights up like a city at dusk,
my veins
all flood, the planets rust.
And when
I say I’m crazy,
Deranged,
lovesick and struck,
I’m not
just making this up.
My dear, these are all symptoms of the madness that is
love.
