I don't think she necessarily was his girlfriend. To me, it sounds like they were getting to know each other and he just kind of left. They haven't talked in a while, and this is like her letter to him. She basically says he won't get too far without her, and he'll regret not even getting to know her enough. He will soon realize that whatever girl he meets, he's never going to be satisfied and probably won't know why. So here, Carrie is explaining this to him.
The reason why I think this is about a boy she was getting to know and not dating was because of the line, "in the end, close is all there is". 'Close' refers to how close they were to finally start dating, I think. When she says "You Won't Find This", she means that this guy made a mistake he will regret, and he will never find another like her.
Later she says "There's once in a lifetime, and there's once in a while". Once in a while is finding someone who you really like. Once in a lifetime is finding THE one, and Carrie explains how different they are. Some people do find two people; one they love and let go, and they find another and move on. But in this song, she says it isn't very likely.
Finally, in the end, after a beautiful, yet sad song, Carrie finally clearly explains the title of the song. She sings, "In the end it’s me you’re gonna miss ". I think this song is beautiful, and it reminds me of something that happened to me.
