Love

It's squishy

A situation of exposure or proximity to another person, in which your body produces high levels of phenylethylamine, dopamine and norepinephrine, giving you a sensation of euphoria similar to an amphetamine rush. After you are hooked your body will toss in some Valium, thus inspiring a sense of imminent well being. Eating Terry's Chocolate Orange has been known to create the same effect, with fewer contra-indications.
