I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

I have run through the fields

Your lips, my bride, drip honey; Honey and milk are under your tongue... Song of Solomon 4:11 NASB

It burned like fire
I was burning desire
Place me like a seal over your heart... for love... burns like a blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Song of Songs 8:6 NIV
