Ooh, hmm. There's a version of this that doesn't feel like love to me at all. Like... trying to act in my best interests, but without acknowledging my subjectivity, or something? Treating my values like a black box function to be learned and then abstracted, or something.

There's a thing like "I will form a model of your values and then try to act according to them" which feels cold and mechanical to me, not like love. Not sure how to explain it if that's not pinging a relevant experience in you. Like... "you like roses, right? here's 1000 roses"

Hmm...how to explain this? The warm, alive, organic version of this?

I miss you when I don't know how you feel for a while. I know you like to see me so seeing you see me makes me happy, which makes you happy. Noticing how you feel, what you care about - that feels good and powerful. I prefer being sad with you when you're sad than happy alone.

*Model* sounds clinical but a better way to explain is that my nervous system, my attention, start to sync up with theirs, and I can predict how they feel based on how I do.

Right, yeah, there's more left hemisphere and more right hemisphere versions of this and the right hemisphere one feels a lot more like love to me!
