In this excerpt, the speaker reflects on the complexity of longing and unreturned affection. They express a feeling of isolation, suggesting that their emotional desires are not reciprocated. The speaker feels overwhelmed by their own feelings, which leads them to seek attention from someone who is not readily available or interested, leading to frustration.

The speaker acknowledges their tendency to chase after love in areas where it cannot flourish. By focusing on someone who seems to avoid them, they inadvertently push away those who might show genuine interest. This creates a cycle of unrequited love and self-doubt, as the speaker is left feeling even more alone and exhausted by their pursuit.
