I always felt that this was written to a father that has died. Even though this is all written in the present tense, there is a finality to the line, "I forgot to say I love you." Almost like he has written this as a private eulogy - a note that he feels he SHOULD have written earlier.
I always loved the line about being the best of friends in an alternate universe- where history bends, in another time and place. And the flashbacks to being held like a baby - as sons are held by their fathers when they first meet.

Just a really touching song. So very personal.
