I did that wrong. I wasn't replying to feversxxmirrors. Just a general post.

I don't see any betrayal either. In fact, he (or she) took her to an island in that sea of store bought dreams, meaning that he offered something other than the cliched, fake dreams that were available from others.

In the early verses, before he found her, I see despair and that she was tired of her life (probably in a foreign country, but that could be interpreted more broadly). He changed that, and there's nothing that implies to me that the relationship ended badly or in betrayal. Maybe it did, but she doesn't seem bitter at all, and she knows how to sound bitter if she wants to. I think she has nothing but fond memories of him (or, again, her).
