thought about this question a few different ways and i think at the end of the day, with romantic love, i've always moved towards longing or wanting being the feelings that last, which is not to say all the love i've experienced has left me in want, but it just seems to be what i always end up associating with the feeling of love

love this question, I’ll answer with a few songs because I think different kinds of love are each unique and can be appreciated differently
platonic: Austin Christy - I’ll be Around
maternal/familial: Porter Robinson - Mother / Porter Robinson - Is There Really No Happiness?
self love: Todd Rundgren - Healing pt. 2
romantic: Nicole Miglis - One and Only
sexual: The Dare - Good Time
phenomenological (the love of one’s lived experience/consciousness): Bibio - The Art of Living
spiritual: Todd Edwards - Perfect Love

not only is this my favorite love song (and one of my favorite songs to ever exist), but i feel like it depicts how love tends to find me/how i find it, see it, feel it, etc. the song is about literally meeting your soulmate in the parking lot of a grocery store. it envisions the future of the couple, and then returns to their initial meeting. firstly, i’m sort of a sucker for coincidental meetings - partially because i’ve met some of my very best friends this way. also, i am so quick to romanticize a person after meeting them for the first time (much like fjm imagining buying a mansion and having 7 daughters with this woman). in the song, this love seems all consuming, and i can relate to that as well (“if this isn’t true love, someone oughta put me in a home“). i’m a very sentimental and mushy person, and i tend to hold the people that i met completely by chance even closer. i don’t love people in rational amounts; life is too short for that. anyways, i just really love this song, and i think it is probably one of the most pure love songs of the 21st century.
