Yeah the way I always see it is that Maggie is his first (major) love. He thinks they'll be together forever but she's more mature and realistic. She knows it won't last and she leaves him.
The years pass and he thinks of her often while living his own life. It seems that her husband is abusive and she is unhappy but she is helpless. As it turns out maybe he was the realistic one - she realises she has made the wrong decision and kills herself, leaving him a note so that he knows he was as important to her as she was to him. She never forgot all those simpler times just throwing stones into the sea.
Now that she "is free" he imagines that she visits him while he sleeps. They can finally be together.
