My interpretation on this poem is that love liberates people and is the key to setting us free. Without love we are lonely and alone, and that is why love is so important. Love is the most important aspect of life so it would makes sense that love would let someone be who they really are. Love negates all fear and sorrow and gives life happiness and pleasure to someone who is in love. Someone who is in love doesn't notice anything else but who makes them happy and complete.
