About 8 years ago I fell in love with a wonderful woman. We dated a couple of months, then she left me, ostensibly because she was moving. I was very hurt, but I managed to stay friends and keep in touch with her as she moved about the world and across several continents. Sometimes it was hard to stay friends with someone who meant so much to me, from whom I wanted so much more, but I managed, though there were years when we barely exchanged a word.
Last night she confessed her undying love for me - by email, as she's still on another continent. I'm emerging from a long-term relationship, so she now felt she could express her feelings without ruining my relationship. She didn't expect them to be reciprocated, we both had no idea the other was still deeply in love with one another.
Many, many emails later, she sent me a reference to this song and told me to pay close attention to the lyrics.
So I tend to favour the interpretation where it's about two people who loved one another but have been on different paths, that are now converging.
I'm sure that's not the only meaning to be teased from these lyrics, and I don't think it's the one the video chose to explore. But I'm sure that's the meaning my darling drew from the song.

Salvia, I think you are exactly right. I am currently in a situation similar to yours. When I heard this song for the first time, my first impression was exactly the same as what you wrote. There are some really bad interpretations of this song, especially the car accident interpretation. This is by far the best explanation of the song, so much more deep and meaningful.
