to me it's about a person who touched you so deeply, had such a profound impact on your life, but for reasons unknown has left your life. the relationship was the kind where the narrator was most often the one initiating contact, and now that she has left, all he can do is hope one day she'll come back or contact him in some way...until then, he feels the ache of the bruise[impression on his life] she has left behind, the pain of which is made even worse by the fact he seems resigned to the idea she most likely will never come back at all.
this is one of those songs that can bring you to tears if you're not careful..
