It's not always true that time heals all wounds.
There are wounds that you don't wanna heal.
The memories of something really good,
Something truly real, that you never found again.
I had an experience a little bit like this song. My first serious relationship was decades ago and we haven't kept in touch. Then one day I saw a recent video of her. She seemed very much the same person, but decades older (of course). It's hard to put into words, but I felt myself letting go of something that I didn't even know I was holding onto. Memory? Regret? What-if? Or, to borrow a line from the Thompson Twins, perhaps it was just "An image of you and of me and we're laughing with love at it all."
I'd like to think that if we ran into each other again, we would remember the good feelings and wish each other well. That's how I see the story in this song.
