If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves me. (John)
The most important commandment is ... You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as you love yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these. (Mark)

Son: Father, I long to love you, how can I grow deeper in love with you?
Father: If you follow my commandments, you love me. (John)
Son: Father, then what is your commandment?
Father: That you shall love me with your entire being... and that you shall love your neighbors as you love yourself. (Mark)
Son: But Father, how do I love you?
Father: Follow my commandments.
Son: What are you commandments that I might follow them?
Father: That you shall love me with all your heart with all ...

Actually, I lied. Love often does not often follow logical discourse, now does it?
Love the Lord your God...
Edit: I want to keep writing, psh. It's only 3:19 AM during Reading Period, right?
You know what's funny? The thing you want is never what you want. The object of your affections is a mental projection of how you want to perceive that object to be. I suspect this is the way that memory, especially nostalgia works.
You part ways with someone you hold dear, but you keep thinking of that person. Ruminating, formulating, historicizing a fantasy history of "what if.. then" statements. By the time you meet the person again, you are so disappointed because the fantastic history that you had created in your mind is not in sync with the person you meet.
A person is frozen in time until the next time you meet, then you'll be in for a big surprise.
You want what you want to want, and not the real want.
On another note, want is a funny word. Like waffle, bagels, and poodles.
