Love is passion, and passion can drive people to do insanely hurtful things, in an attempt to even the scales of their own perceptions of pain.

Love and pleasure from it is actually a bit more complex.
Procreation is important for keeping most species from dying out. Each one has their own reasons for going about it, usually as a form of instinctual response to things like scents. We as humans however have the burden of awareness, so instead of just acting on our urges, we have all sorts of weird ways of going about making it happen. This however doesn't mean those urges aren't still there. As people, having to put meaning behind everything we see and feel, we naturally give everything names. When said feeling lasts for an extended period of time, it has been labeled as "Love".
Love isn't a choice, it is a passionate response. You can't just look at someone and go "Yeah, loving that person seems like something I should do", it just happens. Love can even happen against your own will and better judgement. If you look at love through the filter of logic alone, it's not love. Love doesn't have to make sense beyond the sciences hidden in the background.

You can have a relationship that has the choices and commitments made to be together, but not actually feel love within it.
Love is a force, while a relationship is a partnership. Both together is awesome, but you can have one without the other.

Not really sure what love is these days, other than ambiguous.
What I have toward family members and friends I'm pretty sure is closer to honor and respect.

"What is love?"
Baby don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. No more.
What is love? Love is vague.

Love is selfish, they want me around for their own sakes, but that still feels strangely validating. They want me, and to be wanted is to be loved.

Love is obsession.
