NL888Does "The person love does to us fit" mean "The person does love to fit/suit us"?
Not exactly.

the person that "Love" (personified abstraction) brings one together with
whoever love brings you together with

The text is talking about "Love" as an agent that brings people together.

Thanks.
So
1) "The person" = Love (in the lines of the poem)?
2) "love does to us fit" means "love does us to fit each other"?

No. The person is not love. Love brings one person together with another person. Said poetically, love fits one person to another person.

No. You don't seem to have the meaning yet.
