Summary

This quote expresses a sense of betrayal and disappointment in a relationship where one person feels as though they have sacrificed their entire being for someone who regards their love and emotions as temporary and superficial. The comparison to a flower being worn as an adornment highlights the feeling of insignificance and being taken for granted in the relationship. It captures the pain of realizing that one's deep emotional investment is not reciprocated or valued by the other person.

I can't remember, because I never knew.
