This is a story about two people who don't speak the same language when it comes to love. The lover is fixated on representational idealization of love. What they think love means. She is weary in heart because she simply loves this person the way she loves them. Which is to say, she loves this person directly, while the lover loves her conceptually.
I suppose this could happen in the case of the lover with complete sincerity, feeling as if they truly do love her...but it's blindfolded and they don't appreciate (hard as they may try) or receive her love. Have you ever been in a relationship where your love was never enough, where no matter how deeply you loved someone, your love was not the right kind? I think this is what she feels.
Maybe she desires to understand love as a mold, as the lover does. Maybe if she weren't preoccupied with other difficult realities, she would be floating in the same atmosphere. But she ebbs, the lover flows and while they are a part of the same massive body, they are painstakingly in entirely opposite directions.
