To me it resonates with a person in a relationship that feels like their love isn't being reciprocated (at least not to the same passion).
It could simply be that they feel the partner has now reached a stage where they are simply comfortable with them, but the passion / romance is gone.
I could imagine this describing a lot of marriages where one of the partners has reached the stage of thinking "is this it?" i.e. will the relationship blossom (become a butterfly) or are we forever going to remain caterpillars now? As good as it gets??
