That passion isn't exactly the same as love. Passion in a couple will always dwindle over time, no matter how passionate you were at the start. The passion you feel is infatuation, lust, limerance... whatever you want to call it. Passion is like the activation energy to kickstart a relationship, but you don't need it and in the long term the raging passion that you feel now will disappear and be replaced by a different kind of love.
I suppose my point is that a mutually passionate relationship is great fun, but it isn't necessary if you want to find love.
Is it normal that I am depressed about never finding love
