Constip8d, he's talking about this person in present tense.
You're biting your lip now,
I know 'cause you do it all the time.
You're blinking your eyes hard,
I know 'cause you used to be mine.
I do know the real-life story. Though it was mutual, it really broke him up that his still-best-friend wouldn't even call him up anymore. In Enamel he talks about the bitterness and anger he felt because of it.
[On the bright side, though Reese would go on to go through another engagement that was broken off (post "Anastasia"), he is now happily married to a woman named Amy :) ]
