Well, it's a little hard not to know what it is... it's everywhere. It's flavor and spice for media. Did you know that Roman graffiti used to say the same things ours does? "Germanus amat Julia." Seriously. People designated gods and goddesses just to monitor Love. Think about that. People set up pantheons in order to enable some control over Love. It's actually rather amazing. How many women and men have prayed to Aphrodite to gain the mate of their infatuation? I don't even want to begin to calculate. Hells... people still do it, today. I'm just thinking about this... and I'm amazed! Over a simple feeling that begins with ego, subconscious desires, and the biological need for union with another of our own kind... for companionship and (possibly) procreation. Our capacity for love begins with chemicals inside of our brain. And yet, it can override the basic self-preservation instinct.
Anyway...
I wouldn't actually describe in words what deepest love feels like. If they absolutely had to know, I'd have to play a song for them, or show them art, or both. It has to be something artistic, abstract and absolutely moving, because love must be felt in order to be understood.
LOL! How can a question like that not be personal? A lot of the questions you post are like that, but I figure that is why you post them. To see what all the different answers are and compare them to your own.

How do you explain the feelings associated with the deepest form of love to someone?

But love can be different for different people too... Come to think of it, my question is quite a personal one...

The answers always give me food for thought though...
