I see it just a slight bit differently.

I think its about being surprised when you fall in love with someone and suddenly becoming very aware of your shortcomings, even when that other person accepts you for them. At the same time you put this person on a pedestal and feel you want to try and rise to their level and feel worthy of that love.
