I think I just understood the reason why
We talk childishly when we are in love:
Would it be because we get so much happiness.
So pure, so good, so truthful and fulfilling
That we are just like kids again.
Children’s happiness was inspired by animals as I realised that we talk differently with them too and not only to kids. It can be said both children and animals in general are happy, innocent and who doesn't miss the time when we were like that? I then connected the dots and realised that the way we talk with pure creatures is perhaps a way of feeling like that again. With my choice of words, I tried to bring back that nostalgic happiness to the reader.
Although I don’t think the division between the first verse and the second one is perfect, I could not figure out a way of making it sound better at the time.
