Like others, I definitely see death in this. Maybe too morbid, but: it feels to me like someone in the act of committing suicide: the split second between the act and the death. The "Oh, how I loved you" feels like the final thought, and in the past tense, as he acknowledges that he's ceasing to be. The falling/burning imagery just feels so violent and immediate to me.
