Opening your heart to someone means that you share your secrets with them and tell them how you feel. It doesn't always make you easy to understand. Besides, this statement is usually in reference to the Lifestream, right? He became rather closed off as time went on after the end of the game and before AC. Back to square one, it seems.
It's there are some complexities even she doesn't understand, and that makes her worried. She's still the only person he opened his heart to, and she's still the person who understands him all too well.

That's pretty much it, I believe. You can open up your heart to someone but there will always be some stuff about you that even that special person won't be able to fully grasp. That's pretty much part of the complexities of Human nature and why some people understand love as a continuous search to know more and more of your other half.
Plus, I think this line by Tifa said it all:
Cloud... Words aren't the only thing that tell people what you're
thinking...
Tifa was still there when Aeris reacted to Zack's mom mentioning Zack, and his mom even suggested that Aeris might have been his girlfriend. Then Aeris goes wandering out the door in an emotional stupor. I think Tifa may have caught on.
Now here's an interesting quandary— if the Highwind scene was "too risqué," what's up with Squaresoft putting a sex scene that was far more risqué (and not at all implicit) into Xenogears like, the next year?
For those who haven't played Xenogears,
PLAY IT BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME.
Okay no srsly, real XG spoiler if you want it—
Near the end of the game the two lead characters have a long discussion (in a bedroom on board the local airship) about their feelings and whatnot, then they kiss, fade to black, and the next scene shows them waking up with the girl still lying on the bed wearing nothing but the blanket. Also, the villain couple is shown at some point much earlier in the game, also waking up in the middle of the night in bed together and apparently clothed in nothing but the blanket they share.
