This poem is a plea to the heart and soul to someone who is slowly becoming much more than a friend to you regardless of the current attachment that you have to your significant other. You get the feeling by reading this that the author of this poem is both longing to confess her feelings, but at the same time she’s terrified of being rejected by her new relationship interest and/or hurting her old flame.

I would be very interested in seeing a follow up piece on this about the other side of the coin and which of these two intense loves this author would ultimately choose.
