interesting take. i've always thought of it as the distance is more of a physical distance since he says at the end absence made your heart bruise as in distance between them and time they spent apart destroyed her affection for him.
i also always assumed the end of the relationship is more in the present or very recent past. the hailstorm could even represent her ending the relationship with him in my opinion. interpreting the song that way i like the line "i don't recall much between you and me" meaning either the distance caused the relationship to slowly fade away and he's already forgotten the good times or also perhaps that the breakup is so rattling that the idea of the two of them being together even if it was just moments ago seems far gone.
