Someone wanted to marry her, but she was too busy having fun - not wanting to settle down. Now she is tired of bouncing around and realizes that he was what she wanted all along. But while she was gliding around on the edge of real life, he got tired of waiting and got on with his own life - there is no room for her in it anymore.
The hinting of a circus analogy is perfect - I picture the trapeze artist above it all in her own world, leaving the people on the ground behind in her search for new thrills. Then the high flyer grows weary of being up there alone and finally comes down looking for company, only to find that the one who has been waiting for her on the ground has flown away himself. All the while the clowns are back stage ready to rush out and save the show when someone falls.
