Meaning
The line reads as a portrait of being utterly absorbed by another person, until the rest of the world seems to fall away. It can be taken to mean that the feeling is both intimate and unsettling, like standing at the edge of something vast and open, with only silence and movement around you. It lands in a moment of memory or attraction where ordinary language feels too small.
