I absolutely love this song and in my opinion it is about a girl, who has found her true love and as we can only experience love once in a lifetime, she's taken aback by a sudden strong feeling she has, hence I love you more than I should line. However, he doesn't know her/they're not together yet, so "the timing is cruel". Also, I see it as if his far away at the moment, thus making it impossible for him to meet her, fall for her and be together forever. Therefore she's wondering "And if you were just near to me Would you go?".
She knows he is the one and that they're meant to be, but having to wait for that hurts her. She is so desperately in love with him, that she wants him now.
That's just my take on this song, and yes, it's quite optimistic, because I do believe in true love and I don't think it's a heartbreak song. It's about how waiting hurts so much. And don't we all need to wait and be patient to meet our true love? Up until then we're not living, we're just killing time (paraphrasing Radiohead).
