Our actions or words cause of to lose something that at the moment is something that we hate. But as soon as we lose it we want it back.

It is like breaking up with someone because you can’t stand them anymore and everything they do annoys you. But as soon as the break up is real you want them back.

Just to give it context, in “Antony and Cleopatra,” Antony has just learned that his wife has died. Apparently, theirs wasn’t all that wonderful a marriage, but now that she’s gone, he wants her back.
