The line "hoping that I'll see you on the street" is what I've been thinking about too. It seems so universal to miss an ex and desire to strike up a relationship again. Only calling seems desperate, like you haven't moved on - even if you haven't for some reason you never want to admit that. That is weird - you should be able to admit to someone that you've missed them, it shouldn't just be a game. So the spontaneous meeting on the street is all there is to hold out for, even if it is for a hopeless love.
