twist and turn of hormones

estrogen and testosterone

limbic system activated

fueled by dopamine and noradrenaline

chemical cocktail drunk fast

euphoria nested in the stomach and heart

negative thoughts released

from frontal cortex

until the next phase

guarded by

oxytocin and vasopressin

commitment and attachment intertwined

in the long run
