... I have written it for my girlfriend and given her for the one-year anniversary.

Therefore my own and taken verses, comparisons and metaphors textually allude to the time of getting to know.
"Please, let me hold you tight / Till my footprints fade away" has to be taken absolutely literally because we were not able to say goodbye - while the snow was melting under our soles in the car in the wintertime.
Unlike this the chorus shall seem alone on the pictorial level. Here I quote from William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". No one else could convert the longing, the fire of love ever into words like he did:
"Juliet
Are you going ? It's still a long time until daybreak. ... That sound you heard was the nightingale, not the lark. ... Believe me, my love, it was the nightingale."
(modern)
"Romeo:
It was the lark, the herald of the morn."
