I think I understand what he is trying to get across and personally i love this song.
Of course he loves this girl and i believe he knows he needs to move on, but doesn't want to. Whenever he thinks of this girl that has changed his life, he knows that any "new star" just wouldn't be the same.
So he is moving "at the slowest of speeds," [sort of lingering] to see if either one of them will try to rebuild what they have recently lost. Hoping that one of them will.
But everytime he thinks of her leaving, he knows it wasn't as he had thought it was. Now, he is going in circles trying to make sence of what happened to them together, "finding himself"
In the end he needs someone to tell him its over, so if she doesn't want to talk, "then this isn't love." And he accepts that.
Yet he will always think of her.
