I think Walt Whitman is try to say it doesn't matter who are and if you loved someone that person you could love them and no one couldn't blame you. In 19c people rejected the person is a homosexual or bisexual. However Walt knew the person's feeling who wants to with same gender because he had experience with men.
So I think he wants to tell don't be afraid what you are and world will accept you so be brave. This line tells me that." I am wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again, I am to see to it that I do not lose you".
Right now they are split apart but if they believe they could meet in a future.
If he wants to tell people to be brave… why does he seem so shy?
