The girl he had to leave behind[is still standing behind him]

They look ordinary, they lace up like the rest.

It's not the boots the mean so much, it's my soldier, he's the best

A bell is no bell, til you ring it.

A song is no song, til you sing it.

And love in your heart wasn't put there to stay;

Love isn't love til you give it away.

You want the truth? Well, here it is. Eventually, you forget it all. First, you forget everything you learned- the dates of wars and Pythagorean Theorem. You especially forget everything you didn't really learn, but just memorized the night before. You forget the names of all but one or two of your favorite teachers; and eventually you forget those, too. You forget your junior year class schedule and where you used to sit, and your best friend's home phone number and the lyrics to that song you must have played a million times. And eventually, but slowly, you forget your humiliations -even the ones that seemed indelible just fade away. You forget who was cool and who was not, who was pretty, smart, athletic, and not. Who went to a good college, who threw the best parties, who had the most friends -you forget all of them. Even the ones you said you loved,  and the ones you actually did. They're the last to go. And once you've forgotten enough, you love someone else.
 

The moment someone says "I hope this doesn't change anything", -

That is when you know [nothing will ever be the same]]]

it all comes down to that one person you think about before you fall asleep

I'm not upset because it can't work out between us.
I'm more upset at the fact that we never had a fighting chance.
