Summary
This quote refers to the dynamics of love where there tends to be a power imbalance between two individuals. One person takes the initiative and shows affection by being proactive in expressing love and intimacy (represented by the act of kissing), while the other tends to be less engaged or reciprocating, opting to receive love rather than actively participating (represented by offering the cheek). It implies that one person in the relationship is often more invested or eager for connection than the other, creating an asymmetrical dynamic.
