Personally, the above sounds like something that "could" be a result of the real thing, however by itself, it is merely enfatuation and will not last long.
Love to me is purely self-sacrifice or self-denial...a "giver" of sorts. For the sake of the loved one, the lover will be
willing to give up what they otherwise would not. True love is best when two "givers" come together. Give and take
has it's place, but not as the foundation.
