6 Set me like a seal on your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
passion as cruel as Sh’ol;
its flashes are flashes of fire,
[as fierce as the] flame of Yah.
7 No amount of water can quench love,
torrents cannot drown it.
If someone gave all the wealth in his house for love,
he would gain only utter contempt.

Love is the most basic need of any human being. Everyone needs to be loved and to love. We long for someone to love us eternally, to be loved passionately, to be treasured like diamonds in the treasure chest of someone's heart, to be someone's beloved their love embeded deeply like a tattoo in one's skin where it is known to many. True love is powerful, but it is also as cruel as death. The flames of love can either warm the very depths of your soul or burns up your heart like wood under fire. It is most important to chose the right person we allow ourselves to be loved with. Whatever we allow to enter into our hearts will either make us better people or destroy our very lives.
True love is powerful, it can not be quenched, it is like the sands of the Sahara dessert, no matter how it rains, the sands are hot and always wanting for water, so is one's love for another. But love cannot be bought, there is no price for love because love is priceless. It will not settle for anything else but one's life for another. GOD has created each of us to be loved so intensely by our partners. But we cannot let anyone just love us until we are certain that they are the one GOD had ordained and created for us to love and be loved.
