I think the entire song is about the one moment two people were either reunited or the first moment they had together. It is quite possible that they could have been forbidden to be with each other, which is why there time alone was so short. It speeds up at parts to represent passion, slows down to represent tears, and pleasantly flows to represent conversation.
