This song makes me think of someone looking back on a past relationship with someone who they were completely taken with and infatuated with since the first time he set his eyes on her, I also feel there is an undertone where she possibility felt the same but the two of them never did anything about it because they were afraid of what might come of it, if it were to go sour. So instead of moving to the next step they stayed silent where they were until it became to painful for him to be around her and he walked away from her, and contact started to slip. Now he has seen her again and I think he’s battling with the emotions that have came about from their encounter. After a long time of not seeing her and forcing her to the back of his mind for his sanity’s sake she back and all the same feelings are back (Hello again, Seem like forever between now and then, You look the same, I mean you look different but you haven’t changed” but she has clearly moved on and he’s not sure how to approach this converstation and meeting. I believe that shows in the line “Never thought I would see you again, How have you been? Watchin’ the years as they trickle away”
I feel as if this brought back a part of his life he looks fondly upon but also didn’t mind keeping dormant in the distant parts of his mind, to avoid the anguish you hear in his voice when he talks about this subject.
