"After the first encounter with love, there is no doubt you pursue love with a passion....No mountain seems too high to climb over and no field seems too wide to run through when you're in love.
But somehow, even while in love, you're still left looking. Looking for what? You don't know. But whatever it is you're looking for, you realize it's yet to be found. What a frustrating place that is to be, to be in love but yet know that your heart is not completely satisfied. An odd guilt takes over perhaps, or maybe a sense of apathy as you grow numb to knowing that whatever you try while in love, you'll be left feeling like you still haven't found it, whatever "it" is.
I think for those of us who suffer from this don't actually need to be reminded that love is more than an emotion and that emotions come and go, because the frustration of feeling like you don't have what you're looking for even while having love is something that lives on even when you know in your mind all the deeper facts and truths about love."
- Paul Kim (fellow West High alumn aka James Choi's husband), on 1 John 4:16: God is love.
