An attempt. Not perfect, but probably better than what we had before.

kokugos have it in hiragana form

shinjirin: すっかり心がゆるんで,だらしがないさま。「孫には―だ」. daijr has the same example (so not just romantic love)
  Comments:
I think "madly in love" works well for sense 1, but it's very different from what's in the kokugos. sense 2 isn't great, though.
daijr has しまりなく崩れるさま。だらしがないさま。「孫には―だ」「主将のけがでチームは―になった」
I think separating this daijr definition  into two senses in English makes sense, but "falling down drunk" doesn't cover that 2nd 
example at all.
