Two people who absolutely adore each other, share in everything they do and want to spend as much time together as possible -- they are best friends, as well as lovers......AND, importantly, distance is not an impossible hurdle to stay in contact.

See Plato's dialogs on the subject:
"Symposium" and "Phaedrus"
A partial answer found in these works is that love is wanting to bring out the best in another. Our lesser natures are like anchors constantly trying to drag us down, but loving another elevates our spirit to almost god-like status.
For a more modern take, try reading
"The Art of Loving" by Erich Fromm
a major part of his argument is that love is the attempt to overcome the hopelessness that comes from awareness of the twin burdens of human consciousness:
awareness of our own mortality and awareness of our own aloneness.
Personally, I lean towards Plato's take, but I think Fromm's approach works remarkably well in explaining the role of love in history.

Well...it definately includes that "butterfly" feeling, but also you must be able to love through the good and the bad!

EDIT:
delusional attraction.
It varies from romantic and sexual love to the unrequited love of "God" and parent-children relationships.
