Most likely, "Going Somewhere," is a poem dedicated to Anne Gilchrist. Walt Whitman and Anne Gilchrist were noted to have a quite strong camaraderie for each other. Anne Gilchrist was an English writer who traveled to the United States to meet Walt Whitman. She was completely moved wholeheartedly by Whitman's "Leaves of Grass." Here is a transcription from Walt Whitman to Anne Gilchrist: http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/ww0045a-trans.html As you can see, there is quite a lot of strong feelings toward one another.
