“This love is alive back from the dead”

Love itself performs the resurrection. Unlike the defiant LWYMMD usage (M028), this instance is triumphant and tender — the return from the dead is redemptive rather than combative. Connects to the 1989-era treatment of love as elemental and beyond ordinary mortality.
