No, it doesn't imply romantic feelings. It actually implies lack of romantic feelings, to me. All that lyric is saying is that it had as much of an emotional impact on her as a divorce would. Saying, "I swear, ___" sounds like trying to convince someone of something that might be a little unbelievable, like a friend leaving you being the equivilant of a husband leaving you.
It does matter, because the song is about losing a friend, and I think it kind of cheapens it to imply that it's just another love lost story.
Anyway, the only reason I made the first comment on here is because I actually saw Casiotone live and before he played this he explained what the song was about, so I know this for a fact.
