This is not true.
It's not simply a concept. Love is an emotion, and, like all emotions, and indeed all things, (which aren't just speculation) they have a cause. I'm no scientist, but I know that this emotion is caused by chemicals being released into the brain, and the effect of this is what we feel (in this case love, attraction towards someone/something). A primary argument against god's existance is that if he created everything, he did not have a cause. Therefore, you can't say that love doesn't exist using the same argument as disproving god's existance.
