I think this song talks about the pains of first platonic love. The person in the song loves someone but she does not love him back. To make things worse another person loves him instead. He knows that he can't forget his first love but he does not want to hurt the latter either. So he says "I'll try to love again". The song is very successful in expressing the feelings that are hard to express.
