I disagree. It's more than a love song. It's deeper than that. Throughout the new album, Ed uses the female to make analogies. He even said so in one of their podcasts. When he says that he gives "her" his love, he is (I believe) offering the world a solution: love.
"Tonight, the answer is clear; we are so far and so near"
He believes (like Bono) that mankind has finally gotten to a point where we can solve all of the worlds problems and show some love. I've caught this theme throughout the album AND I've noticed that Ed has sewn this theme throughout songs in the past as well. Ed wants to see change. He wants to see world peace. He wants to see the world united as brothers.
