Lyric discussion by bellaviola 

I don't think it's pessimistic at all. As much as I don't want to be "omg it's sooo good i love it" because I think there's a deeper meaning, i think it's mostly optimistic. Or at least realistic. Cause like, yeah, maybe the people you love now won't be the same later on, but everyone changes and relationships are always fluid. But the good part about that is, there WILL always be someone that you can listen to this song with and be in love. :) Also, this expresses optimism about whatever current relationship it's about...that it's strong enough to last for five years. I think the things he "imagines" did actually happen, but he's been separated from his love, and he knows that they WILL meet again.

You really have a point there and you're the first to mention it. Definately true!
