This song is written in Romeo's perspective when he is banished from Verona, flees to Mantua, and loses touch with Juliet, but she remains all he thinks about. He later hears from his page, Balthasar, that Juliet is going to be wedded to County Paris, and Romeo takes that as an insult that she has already moved on from him.
