Meaning
This reads as a confession about seeing someone through an idealized lens, then confronting the split between beauty and cruelty. It can be taken to mean that admiration can blind us to danger, or that people can hold together qualities that are hard to reconcile. It lands in the aftermath of betrayal, when affection has to make room for a harsher truth.
