An idea of love
Maybe it is an ideia of giving. Or maybe, and probably "better", an idea of receiving. It's a matter of "you versus me", a sort of unbalanced balance. Giving is about forgetting yourself and putting your needs behind the other. Receiving is more about yourself. Self satisfation feelings on something. Back to love:
love to be a gift. An ultimate gift: giving yourself. It means considering you to be the second and the loved one to be the First. Maybe this is a total love... Maybe this does not exist except on the Bible? - not as a passion love there but a family/friendly/human fraternity love - but I'm not talking of it right now.
love to be receiving. I think that seeing love as receiving corresponds to feeling pleasure or to feel good with the happiness of the loved one and when you see that person to be or to become happy. So you work to your own happiness by building or helping the loved one's happiness. Maybe you are one and first but your happiness depends on the joy of the second. It is as if you have two bodies and you feed the second so your first one won't feel no hunger.
The only question here is: any of these ideas are supported by reality, by existing? I won't tell about my believe or experience, not here, but I care to know what you have to say on it, if there is something you wanna say... :)
