I think the line "No one is alone the way you are alone" could be in reference to the way he's feeling when he finds out she's dying. How would you feel in the moments after you found out your lover is dying?
"Some things tie a life together, slender threads and things to treasure."
I sat back and thought about this for a minute, and had to jerk back more than a few tears. I dumped the first girl I ever loved because I was leaving for the Army in a week, and now I'm back, and I'm still tied to her somehow. I always find myself thinking about her, it still hurts to think about her, and that was a solid 6 months ago. We still talk every now and again, but they're never long conversations. Neither of us can forgive each other for our sins, but neither of us can move on, either.
But yeah, back to the song.
In the song, I think it means that he's fallen in love with her, and he'll always love her, even after she dies. Those memories of their summertime together are the "slender threads and things to treasure".
I thought it was about the girl's death myself.
