I didn't love her because it was right; I just loved her.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker separates love from a judgment about whether loving was right. The repeated verb gives the feeling its own stubborn simplicity. Rather than supplying a justification, the final clause returns to the bare fact of loving, leaving the question of rightness unresolved.
