This song is a "not unhappy sad song". That's a rare variety.
It is about someone whose love story didn't happen and he was sad earlier, but he has learned to walk on, let it go and go ahead with his life. In this song, he remembers his love. And he is not sad while remembering, just fond and a little wishful. He is not letting the impossibility of the wish interfere in his wish, but the sadness does creep up in the one line " .. and I'd trade it all.."
This song is one of my favorits, and no less for its beautiful lyrics than for the mesmerizing flute in the interlude.
