I think this song is about a hopeless romantic who fell in love with a girl who was not interested in love and who thought of love as a fantasy (think Zooey Deschanel in 500 Days of Summer). This girl probably thought of love as a foolish game, and now he wonders if she still thinks the same or is she has now finally understood what love is. He may or may not have been in a relationship with her , she is the one who got away, and he will always wonder What if? He has probably had many lovers but he will never forget that one girl, so he'll pretend she was just another lover.
A song that provokes bittersweet emotions.
