Hmm good eye crow. I totally lost my punctuation manners there. But the verse is mostly pertaining to the latter part of the poem. The "you" that the narrator is talking about is a bird, hence the flying and the lady scaring it away with a broom. The bird is hiding in places and the narrator wants to see its face and hear its voice. The old man, the lady, and the teenager personified the characteristics of the narrator that prevented him from being with the bird. They displayed isolation/disconnection, paranoia/overthinking, and insecurity/worry. These things stopped him from being with the one he loved.
Also thanks rowens! There were definitely some unnecessary words that could be discarded.
