I think the song is about definitely losing someone.... to death. The lyrics "Tonight you just close your eyes, and I just watch you, slip away... Hey, are you awake, Yeah I'm right here, Well can I ask you about today..." kind of gives me the vision of him sitting beside someone in a hospital bed. Doesn't even have to be about a woman. He makes no reference to gender at all.

This is the song that I heard as I was headed back up to the hospital to see my Mom. She passed away later on that night with my daughters and I by her side, holding her hand. I chose this song to be in her memorial. Makes me cry every time. The song fit so well. I just had to let you know this after reading what you wrote.
