That's because love is not a "thing". Just as anger, spite, jealousy, and any other emotion is not a "thing".
You're overthinking, Jocko. Dial it back, goodperson.

to 'not be a thing' . . . it sure makes Hallmark a lot of money; florists a lot of money; wedding managers a lot of money; jewelers a lot of money etc.
And captures every waking thought of many a young gal and guy.
I'd say that's pretty good to be nonexistent.
However, God trumps all that by saying HE IS LOVE and that His Love endures forever.
