Because you feel that this "love" will satisfy something that you "need" within you. The problem is that very rarely will this "love", especially from someone else, really satisfy your need, which is probably the reason why your relationships don't last very long.
Please remember one thing. You cannot fulfill some need within you by thinking that someone out there will give you what you need. People complementing each other is in other things, like attitude, way of thinking, behaviour etc. Other people can also fulfill your emotional needs, but this craving for love is not an emotional need. It's much deeper.
Most people who feel this way tie their feeling of self worth with the amount of affection that they receive from another. This is not sustainable and is bound to fail. You have to find a way to feel good about yourself.
Once that happens, you will find that your relationships too start to last longer and your "craving" will reduce to a much more normal "wanting".
