Summary

This quote highlights the bittersweet realization that knowing someone deeply and loving them doesn't necessarily mean understanding every aspect of their true nature. Despite having a long-term love for someone, the person speaking realizes that there are still facets of this person's character that they were completely unaware of. It captures the sense of surprise, confusion, and perhaps even disappointment that can arise when we realize that we may not fully know or comprehend even those closest to us.
