What did you say? Say it again—that you will not listen to me? If you do not listen, then we do not bother speaking to people like you either.

This couplet captures a brilliant duel of egos between lovers, seasoned with quick wit and fierce self-respect. When the beloved haughtily snaps that they have no interest in listening, the poet refuses to play the desperate suitor and proudly retorts that his words aren't meant for the indifferent anyway. Beneath this sharp dismissal lies a classic game of romantic sparring, where apparent rejection is merely a dramatic veil over mutual obsession.
