love is and love is not

"As we will show, LOVE is not a concept that has a clearly delineated structure; whatever structure it has it gets only via metaphors."
Metaphors We Live By, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson

And, while we're on the topic of metaphors, allow me to offer the following:
1. I like my metaphors like I like my cocktails: well-mixed.
2. I like my metaphors like I like my cocktails: shaken, not stirred.
3. I like my metaphors like I like my cocktails: frequently.
4. I like my metaphors like I like my cocktails: gin-based.
5. I like my metaphors like I like my cocktails: nonsensical.
6. I like my cocktails like I like my metaphors: self-referential.
7. I like my cocktails like I like my metaphors: surprising to the point of alienating.
8. I like my cocktails like I like my metaphors: stronger than me.
