When I heard this song for the first time, just a few days after learning that a woman whom I loved did not love me in the way I did her... It was just, so incredibly powerful.
Anything but the fact that I wouldn't get to spend another morning with her just faded from my mind as I sat there in the middle of all my friends and stared blankly into space.
Now, whenever I hear this song the moments she and I DID share, are played back to me... And partly thanks to Leonard, it is a fond memory, not a painful one. And that is really what this song has become to be about for me, as iluke1 writes, about accepting love that cannot be, and making it into a memory or an experience that is not entirely negative.
