It's about unrequited love. The person doesn't know how to express their feelings to a friend or a special someone they feel love and a strong romantic attraction to, they're overcome with anxiety and wait for the perfect moment when their love visits ("You came by, I was so glad though sadness covered, The smile I kept for you, I was waiting for the cloud to pass over, Then I could show my love"). However, that moment never comes, their friend doesn't reciprocate the feelings, either because they're oblivious and misunderstand, or they feel uncomfortable, and leave. Whenever the person thinks about their love, they feel bittersweet and then depressed ("I'm back in the sunlight again, Oh I'm so glad, It's only joy I wanna give to you, Sometimes I feel lost and desperate, Please forgive me, If I show no sign of reasoning, Or consideration, In my bleaker times") knowing that thinking about their love makes them happy and they want to show them affection, but they know they'll never have them as a partner, and their romantic advances either go over the head of their love or get rebuffed.
