Though it's a sort of love-song to love & humanity, it also depresses me - my natural instinct is to see the protagonist as happily deluded rather than actually alien, in which case the literal read of the conclusion is pretty depressing!

It sort of reminds me of the main character in "Mr. Spaceman" by Robert Olen Butler (although the short story that preceded it, "Help Me Find My Spaceman Lover" is much better than the book that followed).

You evoke that feeling of having a happy secret that hurts the heart because you can't share it extremely well. Great shades of The Man Who Fell To Earth, here, Suzi.
