When I feel love I feel as if I'm with an extension of myself. Sharing thoughts with the object of my love feels like I'm just thinking them out loud, like there's no loss or disconnect, and no shame either. Everything is open and comfortable. There's no need to entertain, but enjoyment comes from sharing thoughts anyway. I've felt this in a Platonic sense, with friends, or romantically, with my girlfriend, but both have a lot of similarities. When you want to get to romantic love, take that idea of sharing thoughts, add some physical attraction and multiply it all by feeling able to do this forever and completely trust the other. That's what it's like for me.
