I've always thought of this song as a companion piece to "Forsaken". Whereas in "Forsaken" he is completely enveloped in the sorrow of losing a loved one, this one is written after more time has passed. Rather than dwelling on the pain of his loss, he has the emotional space to be grateful for the time they had together. As he says "no pain remains" - there's no more tears that he needs to cry. Instead, he knows that this person is waiting for him somewhere and they will be together again for all of eternity. This is probably my favorite VNV song.
