Meaning
They felt shy, blushed, and pulled their hem away to flee, but bravo to love, at least they ventured this far.
Explanation
There is a delightful sense of sweet optimism in this couplet. Even though the beloved got flustered, pulled their hem away, and hurried off in bashfulness, the lover does not despair; he actually celebrates. For him, the fact that modesty brought them this close in the first place is a quiet, beautiful triumph of love.
