Are there any metaphors in these Japanese sentences?


I'm trying to understand the following three lines from a song:

[code]

    ただ会いたくて 声も無くしそうで
    でも会えなくて 夢さえ恨んだ
    日々薄れてく 記憶を手探りで 感触をただ愛した
    
[/code]

Each line is progressively difficult to understand. I can read the words but
can't make sense of it. No translation I've found makes sense.

In the first line it says something like "I seemed to lose even my voice from
just wanting to meet you." I don't get how wanting to meet someone would cause
someone to lose their voice. Is this a metaphor?

The second line says something like, "But I couldn't meet you so I hated
dreams." I don't see the connection. Another metaphor, or is this one of those
cases where the native Japanese is able to easily fill in the blanks?

The third line is the weirdest one of all.

Can anyone make sense of this?

The complete song lyrics are

First of all this isn't a translation, just an explanation, so excuse the
result not sounding pretty:

[code]

    ただ会いたくて 声も無くしそうで
    
[/code]

"I wanted to meet you so much that I felt I might lose my voice,"

[code]

    でも会えなくて 夢さえ恨んだ
    
[/code]

"But unable to (meet you), I (ended up) hating even my dreams." (I would guess
this hating dreams would refer to hating dreaming about being together in the
future again which is contrary to reality - as if the dreams were spiting her)

[code]

    日々薄れてく 記憶を手探りで 感触をただ愛した
    
[/code]

The days grow thin (metaphorically as in their meaning, happiness etc. each
day is less fulfilling than before - also "dim" works as well - better
probably), and searching through my memories (てさぐり means to search as if
groping with hands in the dark), I felt love for even the slightest touch (ただ
before a verb adds emphasis, hence the "even the slightest" - and as the
metaphor is linked with で this would mean that she felt strong feelings of
love through just finding a memory (presumably of them two together).

Hopefully that clears up a little of what you want to know. If you have any
specific questions, comment? I'm not sure if the metaphors here intrinsically
have anything to do with the Japanese language itself though.
