I think he is driving too fast to the hospital where she is dying. Either she was in a bad car wreck or a longer term battle with her health. Either the news has reported the horrific accident or she somewhat famous so her condition in newsworthy. He doesn't want to believe the news - all he can stand to think about is how much he loves her and can't bear to lose her.
He is racing to the hospital and as soon as he gets to her room, he stops in his tracks to focus on her: he is willing her to live, but it's not enough. All he wants to do is get her out of there to some place safe where everything is okay instead of dealing with the reality of her condition. She is dying and the 'supermen' are her doctors who are wasting time talking about what they could do to prolong the inevitable. And they are distracting him from being with her when he knows it's the end as much as he wants to deny it.
I think the angels and rain symbolism could have one or more meanings: her life is fading away like rain fades the view out a window, she is an angel fading from this life, angels are descending from heaven to lead her 'home.' He knows she will be loved in heaven, but he wants his love to be strong be strong enough, to love her enough to keep her alive but he 'can't give it away.'
And so he can't bring himself to say goodbye even though he knows it's time. And all the while he is watching her die. |
