It's the story of an affair... not necessarily an extramarital affair (although that seems like the easiest explanation), but it's something short-lived, passionate, and secret. He's in a position to commit to her (he's in the sand), but she's setting the rules, because something in her life is pulling her in another direction (she's on the ocean). He wants to hold on, but she lets him slip away.
However, after whatever life-changing experience she went through that separated the two of them, she finds herself moody, irritable, unpredictable - lovesick. She drinks alone, wanders off, and doesn't tell anybody what's wrong. It meant more to her than she'd wanted it to. She thinks the two of them could have been something amazing.
But with time, she moves on, like nothing happened.
