Summary

This quote depicts the speaker's realization about a previous misconception in their romantic relationships. They describe someone else as raw, sharp, rich, and full of energy, metaphorically comparing them to the enjoyment obtained from sweet blood after a satisfying hunt. In contrast, they admit to mistaking the kisses of another person, Aiden, for this intense and passionate experience. Although they had found pleasure in Aiden's kisses, they now recognize that it was only momentarily satisfying, similar to the temporary comfort derived from consuming chocolate. The speaker acknowledges their former misunderstanding and longing for something deeper.

Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors.
