She's kept her pregnancy a secret, except that he knows about it and there's not much anyone else can do about it.
She notices in late November... he mentions coming back seven or eight months later (June) but in the meantime it's "up to you." Does this mean that he wants her to have an abortion before the end of her term, and before he'll see her again? More evidence of this -- in a later stanza he asks, "Can you feel it, is it true? / Is something gone inside of you?" If that's the case, then "But life goes on, I have to go" is quite ironic and brilliant. By repeatedly asking her to "get well soon" is this his way of asking her to end her pregnancy?
Is he singing to someone he's gotten pregnant?
