I don't think it's about someone that killed themselves, I think it's about him trying to convince someone they're headed down the wrong path("we could sit down and have a moment and talk about your suicide and i would put away your death if you could put away the dope") As in, he would quit trying to convince the guy he's killing himself if he would quit doing drugs. The nostalgia part is about looking back and realizing he couldn't change him and he either a)died or b)never changed.
