this song is so amazing, as is most of Jonathon Larson's music.
Basically, Mimi and Roger are in love. But Roger is afraid to love Mimi because of his last girlfriend, April. Roger and April had been junkies and because she died. (see tune-up #3: "Close on Roger: His girlfriend April left a note saying 'We've got AIDS' before slitting her wrists in the bathroom.") Roger is no longer a junkie, but Mimi is, and he is afraid to love her because he's afraid of what may happen, but Mimi reminds to "Give in to love or live in fear" and that there is no day but today. She loves him and hopes he will love her, and not reject her because she is a junkie.
