I don't feel like sleeping or writing so here's something old.
When observed, it seems unreal, but when found, love is a gift -- an intangible Jack-in-the-box that never ceases to surprise. It is the most multi-faceted emotion, and when experienced with different individuals or groups can be encumbering or a joy, intense or gray. Seeming to be the driving force behind human nature, love is what propels us to dive into the ocean at midnight, or hibernate for winters with the bears. Because people care so much for an individual or group (love takes many forms, and one can love one or many), anything they do is significant and will cause a reaction from the lover. A cheater is present in a relationship, and since love is present, the one who was cheated on feels hurt and acts in retaliation. If the love is not there, there will be no response. Further, love is built by spontaneity and excitement, and is not true until it does not stop. Like a traditional Jack-in-the-box, it can be rewound and not require new batteries to keep going on. The jester popping out of the box is like the little fireworks in love -- the sparks that fly when a relationship develops significantly, such as the marriage of a couple or the protection of a mother for her child. Love is not a formula, is not constant, but continues forever if it is pure.
