La chanson évoque une relation tumultueuse où l'amour, malgré les déceptions et l'absence de l'autre, finit par triompher. La narratrice parle d'un homme qui, bien qu'éloigné et souvent indifférent à ses besoins, a su capter son cœur. Elle se remémore les doutes qu'elle a pu avoir, mais au final, elle reconnaît qu'elle ne regrette pas le temps investi et les leçons apprises à travers cette expérience. Ce parcours, semé d'obstacles, lui a permis de découvrir sa force intérieure et d'affirmer l'affection qu'elle ressent pour lui. Cette chanson s'inscrit dans un contexte de relations complexes, où l'importance du temps et de la patience est mise en avant. Elle rappelle que parfois, malgré les difficultés, l'amour véritable peut rester, se nourrissant des épreuves traversées.
