The great wretchedness of man, therefore, is not to be with Him without whom he cannot be. For undoubtedly he is not without Him in whom he is, and yet if he does not remember Him, and does not understand Him, nor love Him, he is not with Him.
-Augustine, de Trinitate XIV, 16
Love for Christ is, and should be erotic. I want Christ to be my lover. Because what else is wretchedness than to be without your lover?
