This song explores the doubts about the partner's feelings towards one in a relationship. Does the "light of passion" for him still burn bright? The partner has another activity that takes her away from the writer. She "belongs to other eyes" and is "not likely to step aside" from this activity. He wonders if her promises and laughter when with him are true. He reflects that only love and trust are what he must rely on, and their mutual passion when together.
