The dialogue shows that the characters are

in love with each other
truly in love with music
in love with the same person
both victims of unreturned love

Explanation

In Twelfth Night Act II, Scene 4, this exchange between Orsino and Viola (disguised as Cesario) reflects their shared experience of unrequited love. Orsino is in love with Olivia, who does not return his feelings, while Viola secretly loves Orsino, who sees her only as his trusted "boy."
