i need to feel respect, not passion, not admiration
this is a double inversion of a juliet classic (flipping the subject/object of evaluation [feeling* rather than being felt about], and a rejection instead of an extension of past ideals ["not" rather than "not just"]).
*i'm unsatisfied with "feel" as it's not objective enough but i don't know of a better phrasing that doesn't sacrifice elegance for accuracy
