I've been in love with this song for about 2 years now, but it's never made complete sense to me until now. I just figured out what it's about for me. You go into a relationship or whatever knowing it's going to be short term: we have this much time together and then for whatever reason, we have to go our separate ways. So it's not going to be serious, just about enjoying time together. But even though you know from the first moment it isn't going to last, you let yourself fall into it. And you feel so much more than you ever intended. And you dream, and imagine, even though you know it has to end, that you'll be together forever. That it'll never end. And then your time runs out, just as you always knew it would. And you're left feeling so much, and it's over, and there's absolutely nothing you can do. Nothing at all.

I couldn't put this any better myself, icesk8ngurl...I too recently figured out what exactly this song is about, but I'd much rather have been able to go on without fully understanding it. Sometimes life just gets in the way and there's nothing you can do about it, even if you'd give up everything to keep your relationship going. No matter what you tell yourself, you can't talk yourself in or out of love, but sometimes life forces you to make a decision. But it's the moments you shared, even if it wasn't for as long as you...

@icesk8ngurl I've been through this too, very painful, this song gets the emotions going every time.
