This song is absolutely amazing.

Clearly this song is someone talking to someone else because of "YOU were so scared" and other things like that. I don't know why, but I imagine someone writing this in a letter to someone that they love, but have hurt. They know that they are going to be leaving them (either through death or some other means)-- though not neccessarily immeadiatly because they are "writing" as a result of a dream-- so they are telling them not to remember them for the mean things they did, but for the love they had for the recipient of the letter and the other good things that they have done. Apparently they are just realizing that they have hurt this person, because they are talking about the addressee's pain that they "hide so well." Also that the person they are writing to is a much better person than they are.

That is my view. Peace, love, and music, Annabelle Marie
