In my opinion, it's about a past relationship that he has learned not to regret. He still misses those times, as when he says, "What happened to the days when we shared our dreams?" but he doesn't regret them, as he says, "If I could go back now, I wouldn't change a thing". Something happened to them, and the two drifted apart. Even though they are aware that things changed and that they can't ever go back to the kind of relationship they had, they're still are able to smile when they think of the good times they had and their memories. It's very bittersweet - a part of him wants to go back, and another part knows that he never will be able to. He says, "Yeah, we made our mistakes, but we followed our hearts" - he's happy for the love that he felt, but has picked up his feet and has gotten over it, or is trying to, and move on. He won't ever forget it, and will forever remember it as a good thing.
The song represents my situation exactly, as my special person and I had an aweseome summer together, the best time of our lives, but things got worse and we drifted away. We've been trying to get back together and try again several times. A part of me wants to try again because it misses those times terribly, but another part knows inside that we can't ever go back. The song's helped me decide that for right now, we can't be in a relationship, maybe later, maybe never, but definitely not right now. It gives me the impression that I shouldn't be sad for what happened, but be glad for the good times I had. Thanks for the song, it gives much strength. ;]
