Answer:

A love that doesn't seek people's approval.

Explanation:

In Elizabeth Barret Browning´s poem (Sonnet 43), the speaker seemed to be manifesting a relationship that does not depend on the ususal and expected way, but rather it is a love that is free, not seeking for the approval that was already being denided (at least from her father). Also her love is pure even facing a lack of appreciation.
