this barrier
‘Lov’s not Times foole’ - positioning of
‘Love’ before ‘Time’ denotes its
superiority, links to G’s belief he can
‘repeat the past’ & ‘fix everything just
the way it was before’, out of love
‘I love you now - isn’t that enough? I
can’t help what’s past’ - G’s love
transcends time, but D’s is only
momentary
