I don't understand what the meaning is in that context.

Ivanova, "I said go away!"
Franklin, "Susan it's me. You OK?"
Ivanova, "Damn it Steven, why the hell did he have to do it? I didn't
want him to. I never, never would have asked him to."
Franklin, "I know."
Ivanova, "I mean, how the hell did he find out about that machine."
Franklin, " After we gained custody of the alien healing device,
Sheridan and I decided that it was just too dangerous to let others know
about it, so I coded all my log entries. He must of hacked his way
through half a dozen security overrides."
Ivanova, "Typical. He was always pulling crap like that. You know, I
never knew what to do with him. He was the most undisciplined, most
annoying... I was just lying there and I was feeling myself letting go
of my body. And I remember the last thing I thought was, I'm going to
die now. And it wasn't so bad. And then I heard this voice coming from
far away saying, I love you. And then I thought, is this God? Is this
God, I mean he really did have an English accent just like in all those
old movies. And then I felt myself being pulled down and I got heavy, so
heavy, and tired. I forced my eyes open and there he was next to me. And
we were hooked into that damn machine. And I tried to pull it apart
Steven, I swear to God I tried, I just couldn't even move. I couldn't
move."
Franklin, "Look there was nothing you could do, all right? You system
was traumatized. You can't blame yourself."
Ivanova, "I don't, I don't, I don't. I just ... You know all my life
I've had, I've had problems with relationships. You may have noticed."
Franklin, "A little."
Ivanova, "You know the ones that I loved always ended up hurting me,
leaving me. And the ones who stayed, they had nothing inside, no depth.
After a while I just decided to forget about it. And here was Marcus. I
knew he'd never hurt me and I knew he'd never leave me and I knew he
loved me. I knew it and I just didn't want to admit it. And he gave so
much and he wanted so little in return. And he just wanted a kind word
or a smile and all I ever gave him in two years was grief. And that's
because I think I saw what I wanted and I was afraid. "
Franklin, "But you knew it wasn't going to work out. You were just
protecting yourself from being hurt again and that's all."
Ivanova, "Maybe, but maybe I should have just tried one more time. I
could have done that for him, now I can't. At least I should have boffed
him just once."
Franklin, "Boffed. Did you just say boffed?"
Ivanova, "That's the type of thing he would have said. I mean, what the
hell, it's not like I was doing anything else."
Franklin, "Well I guess that's one way to deal with unrequited love, huh? "
Ivanova, "All love is unrequited Steven, all of it."

I was thinking about somewhat a bit less "hard".
Thanks.
