This has been one of my favorite songs since I heard it as a Cowboy Bebop AMV. I used to think it was just a regular love song, albeit one that I found quite cathartic to listen to. But, slow thinker that I am, I just read the lyrics and realized: the girl isn't real. It makes the sound of the piece mean so much more to me, now that I realize that the song is from a person who's love is not for a real person, but for a fantasy which no real person can measure up to.
