I get the feeling that the first part is about two teenagers who understand each other very well. But one of them, the I in the song, wants more - "I wish I was yours".
The other part of the song describes how they meet again after many years. The lines "Strangers / Nobody knows we love" tell us that the I hasn't forgotten the other part that he shared secrets with. The lines show that they share some kind of deep untitled love. The look that relives the memory is the look that first made the I fall "in love", but he can't respond to the other part as he did so many years ago, therefore he wants "her" to remember him as the "boy" he was. Otherwise she will feel disappointment. Maybe because he lost a part and changed into someone new when she disappeared. He got lost...
My ex loves this song, and I met her eyes at a Cure concert. Beautiful and sometimes painful memories.
