I doubt the person he's talking about has died, there's no real hint at that and it works perfectly without a death involved. It seems to be about two close friends (most likely a guy and a girl) who became separated in one way or another because one of them or even both of them began to change. I've been there as I'm sure most people have and it sucks.
I get the idea that their split wasn't exactly friendly, perhaps he tried to hang on while watching her go through changes that led up to her ditching him completely. Despite this, he still cares for her and years later, after not seeing her in so long, he is reminded of her and wonders if she too misses what they had and if she'd be willing to bring it back.
