Passion:
The original meaning of "passion" was
"A Willingness to Suffer for What You Love"
"A Willingness to Suffer for What You Love"
Seeing the word passion in this sense, as opposed to the standard definition given nowadays of "a very strong feeling about something" gives it a much more force and power.

Love
This is too vast a concept, but I'll start with:
St. Thomas Aquinas defined love as "to will the good of another," or "to desire for another to succeed."
From:Everybody, Always: Becoming Love in a World Full of Setbacks and Difficult People [snapshot] by Bob Goff
Love eschews polite distance or meaningless small talk or prescriptive conversation. Love demands an authentic connection in which you are open and transparent.
