The 'deer' that we chase falls in to the sea, and then there is never going to be a chance to have it again.
To me, it feels like all of the natural imagery implies that sometimes, this is just the way that things happen. These possibilities we see in other 'deer' get swollowed up by the 'sea', which to me is one of the most powerful examples of such vast, raw nature. When the narrator says he must remind himself that "the sea is not mine", to me it is a reassurance he tells himself or to others, to let them know that though they may be sad, it was not their fault, because things just happen that way sometimes.
"And you are sad But the sea is not mine"
