Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The declaration of love also acknowledges all the occasions when it went unsaid. Every day since their meeting becomes a measure of what the speaker now thinks he should have expressed. The line joins affection with regret, making the present confession carry the weight of those missed words.
