Irony Comments

Very True but they say the heart fonder with distance

I love my mother but when I stay away from her I remember her more and more which I don't feel when I am with her....this is the distance factor, the irony that the poetess speaks about.

Yes, we must unfold some intricate aspects of the very concept of love. Love is often contrary to what one expects....that's the irony. What you express in the last line is absolutely correct.
