The gender of the speaker is unknown,but I would guess that it might be a guy.I think that the speaker is writing this poem for his loved one,which I think is likely to be his girlfriend or his wife.I think that the speaker is complimenting his girlfriend that she make him to love himself more.Before he met her,he would probably not love himself as much as he is now when he is when her.His girlfriend probably doing something or giving something to the speaker that make him a better man.His girlfriend sort of make the speaker feel that he is becoming a new person from all the love and caring that she had given him.I believe that this poem is about flattering the speaker's loved one.
