Love makes you forget that you're alone. When love moves away, loneliness returns. When love comes back, you suddenly have no time for anything else. But you just don't care.
Substitute drinking alcohol, sports, work, or any other obsessive activity for love, and the above holds true.
Stay alone long enough, you begin to go crazy. And it feels good. It feels like you find yourself.
Stay together long enough, and you don't want to find yourself again. You'd rather be a couple, a totally different type of beast.
Couple: Mythical beast composed of more than one human that have entered a collective consciousness, also called hive mind.
