What does "I hate to see you go, but love to watch you leave" mean?

Could you explain to me what the sentence says? Thank you in advance.

It's meant to be an amusingly paradoxical statement. I hate to see you go This usually means that I don't want you to leave. I love to watch you leave This sounds like I want you to leave.
