Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

The speaker explains hiding under someone’s porch by saying they love that person. The contrast between an unusual action and a simple declaration of affection gives the line its effect. Love is offered as the reason for staying close, though the words alone do not establish how the explanation is received.
