Meaning
This reads as a warning that love is not only feeling, but duty, cost, and commitment. It points to a love measured by what one is willing to carry for another, especially when faith turns into practice rather than sentiment. It lands when affection is tested by inconvenience, sacrifice, or a hard request to stay faithful.
