I believe that this song is about two friends that grew up together and one got an illness and is in the hospital for most of his days and the other friend visits and waits for him to come home well and safe and everytime he visits he acts like hes strong and he tells him that everything's going to be okay but he relizes that he can only stay for the summer and its ending so the last day hes there he goes to the hospital but its too crowded so he goes to the airport heart broken and his friend dies. (correct me if im wrong i could be way off)

I think you're right for the most part, but I'd say it's not a friend but a relative. That would explain why he's the one filling the prescriptions. Also, I think it's mostly about the struggle of having someone close being hospitalized, not so much that the individual died. Hospitals are always crowded so there's no privacy to vent or cry. The song is about the emotional struggle he has to face. He has to be strong, but can't stand to leave for more than a few days. At least that's what I think, but I could be way off...
