"love is nothing more than a chemical reaction in the brain."

reaction;
1 : a response to some treatment, situation, or stimulus.
2 : bodily response to or activity aroused by a stimulus.

my question is; why then, even after we are no longer being exposed to the person causing this reaction, do we remain in love with them?
1 year later, 2 years later, 3 years later... however long later & that person still crosses your mind every day. you'd still die for them, you still love them.
yet, you're no longer being exposed to what would cause the reaction. so, science would say that the reaction would cease, am i right?

&&another question; why then do we not experience this reaction with everyone we have an interest in? why do some relationships leave you tumbling down the rabbit hole, falling deeper and deeper into love; while others simply stay on the surface, simply liking the person?

some claim the reaction is fueled by the simple things; holding hands, hugging, kissing, &eventually sex. well, explain why the reaction doesn't happen with one person who you do all of the above with, but it does with another?

i personally believe that love lasts forever.
if you love someone, you always will.

so, i don't believe it's simply a chemical reaction in the brain, but much more.
what do you think?
