I see this as being about a parent's feelings for their child. I find it to be very comforting, almost maternal. Here is my interpretation.
"If you be my star I'll be your sky
You can hide underneath me and come out at night"
I will protect you and keep you safe.
"When I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine"
When I step back and let you go off on your own (or at the very least, start to explore the world on your own), I want you to be who you are, and be independent and stand on your own two feet.
"But you can skyrocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy
Far from here with more room to fly
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by"
You can go off on your own, if you want to. Just make sure we can stay connected. Last line there can also mean, make sure you make an impact on me that I can remember you by.
"If you be my boat I'll be your sea
A depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity
Ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze"
Another statement of the desire to protect and nurture. For me, this line of the song makes me feel very safe, like I am wrapped up in someone's arms, trusting them completely (Like a mother)
"I live to make you free
I live to make you free"
Again, even though I love you, I want you to grow and be independent.
"But you can set sail to the west if you want to
And past the horizon till I can't even see you
Far from here where the beaches are wide
Just leave me your wake to remember you by"
As stated above, you can be on your own, separate from me, if you want to.
If you be my star I'll be your sky
You can hide underneath me and come out at night
When I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine
But you can skyrocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy
Far from here with more room to fly
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by
I completely agree. Yes, this song can be interpretted as someone letting go of their love but I think this more applies to a parent letting their child live the world on their own and experience life. I lovvvvvvvvve this song, it is so peaceful and beautiful

I was going to say the same! It reminds me of my newborn son. But you explained it so much better than I could. :)
