Amnesia–a term typically reserved for describing the partial or total loss of one’s memory, is used here to describe the mental, physical and emotional disassociation with a previous lover. Justin speaks in a very sensual way about the way the relationship turned cold and how he now feels about the other person.

Repeated allusions to “cold” suggest that not only is the relationship over, but has been pushed so far into the outskirts that the connection is simply cold and dead, like one may have with a common stranger.
