Oh Gosh this song brings me to tears everytime I pay attention to the lyrics. It's so touching and amazingly accurate the way Mariah describes that so bittersweet feeling of remembering your first love, that one that didn't work out but left a deep mark on you. Only Mariah can do this, to take you on a journey to those memories you keep shelved on your mind. It might be my favourite song in the album, and it reminds me very much of songs like "Fourth of July", "Breakdown", "The Roof" and specially "Subtle Invitation".
I'm guessing that her first love died, like Dasinger said, which makes the song a bit darker...
In my case I relate to that kind of daydream. Somehow my first love appears when I'm dreaming at night, or simply out of nothing. I've had a new boyfriend for 3 years but memories of this guy and me ten years ago always come to my mind as if nothing and no one could ever surpass those happy, bright, innocent, teenage days...
