Innocent Love

I decided to post this video as the result of a thought from today.
I was listening to a band whom I haven't listened to for a long time and now I realize why.
I could relate back then, to every lyric, to every song, to every emotion.
Now all of it seems childish.

Why is it that even when the situation isn't the greatest, that you still feel so much emotion towards your first love? Why is it that they could treat you horribly, and still you lay at their feet practically worshiping them?
Why is the above song viewed as such an ideal version of love?
Why is that first time, innocent love, is always sought after, even though it ends in being extremely unhealthy for your emotional well-being?

Sometimes I wish that I could feel the way that song describes for another person as I once did.
Such strong emotions, the willingness to give up your life for a person because you "love" them so much.
But now looking back at it, that isn't love. 

Love isn't sacrificing yourself for another.
Many people view Romeo and Juliet as the classic love story,
But it isn't in the slightest, in fact it is categorized as a tragedy.
I no longer understand how people could possibly feel the way this song describes.
To me, that is just stupidity.
Yet,

After our fist loves, don't we all seek out something that felt just as strong, and then attempt to fool ourselves into believing that we feel even more for the people after our first loves?
Why is it that we long to revert into our childish selves?
"Love"

It's a feeling, a great feeling, but more often than not it leads us into hurt and stupidity like my prior relationship did.
After our first loves....I think we are all better off looking for something that is instead, logical.
We know we can't revert back to those childish emotions, so why not journey into future relationships with a logical mindset, because in all honesty

being logical about a situation can cause just as much happiness, without as much hurt.

At least that's how I have come to view it.
