I really do wish that whoever posted this had had the decency to capitalise. It really bugs me to see such a lovely song reduced to lower case.
Also, I think that the first line of the second verse is "AND think as I am thinking now."
Annoyance at this representation aside, I adore this song. It always sounds to me like a girl saying goodbye to a childhood friend that she has grown apart from, in order to preserve his innocence as she is losing hers. She thinks the world of him, but she's destined to grow into a world that he wouldn't recognise, and so she's decided it would be best to end their correspondence. That's just the image it paints for me.
