About This Quote
When you love someone, you can’t help but offer your time and attention to them as a way of showing your affection. It’s not something you can predict or control. In this case, the speaker is trying to elicit a feeling from the person they love. And, as if it isn’t enough that they offered their love, they now want it back.
The speaker expresses a desire for an experience that is not possible in a world where people give and take without expecting anything in return. This can be a very hard thing to do because we are human beings, and we all have our limits.
