It must be love on the brain

I saw you from across the room, and I knew immediately.

My pulse began to race

I started to sweat

I could barely breathe.

From the first moment that I laid eyes on you

I was convinced.

We laughed and smiled and held hands

We talked for hours

Within one-fifth of a second, your physical appearance

Your body language

Your intellect

Your smile

caused an excessive release of dopamine

creating feelings of excitement and happiness

We made eye contact for 8.2 seconds

I was locked

then your voice triggered my brain mechanism for generating long-term attachment

I was then attached

For the next several days, my neurotransmitters sent obsessive message after message, accompanying thoughts of you with feelings of euphoria.

Once vasopressin and oxytocin reached my receptors

I knew I could never be without you.
