The narrator describes feeling lucky like a little boy who is excited to explore and discover everything about the person they love. The meaning of life, for the narrator, starts with being with this person, and they hope the other person feels the same way. The narrator reflects on how they've seen many things, but nothing compares to the feeling of seeing the person they love and how it erases all other memories. They express the desire to be close to this person and to kiss them.
