It's like saying..Love is more beautiful when someone loves you back. Terrible meaning it's terrible to be in love alone, cause when you love alone, nothing grows out of it.

"Love is much like a wild rose; calm and beautiful, but willing to draw blood in its defense." Mark Overby

In the name of LOVE you can be criticized and "fixed" by your lover until you bleed.
