Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker mistook an impersonation of love for the genuine emotion. It implies that they were deceived or misled by someone or something that initially appeared to be love or affection, but later turned out to be insincere or false. The metaphor of a wrong number indicates a mistaken connection, emphasizing the speaker's disappointment or disillusionment when they realized the truth. It reminds us to be cautious and discerning when it comes to love and to question the authenticity of what initially appears to be genuine.
