The song is about wanting someone you can't have. I would guess that in some ways that this other person felt the same way about him but their relationship couldn't be for various reasons (probably because they were both married to other people).
It is a beautiful song. Phil Collins is an excellent writer. One of his albums consisted of letters he had written his wife as they were divorcing.
Half the songs from his first two albums were about his failing marriage. And half of those were bashing his wife. The other half were trying to make up to her.
