I think the obvious metaphor is the summer fling, but I think this can also reply to a relationship that was "real", could have lasted a while but was doomed from the start. She had a relationship with this person who she loved, it obviously didn't last, so she found someone who "won't fly away". This new person is loyal to her, but doesn't elicit the same feelings as the the first person did.
The last part is a bit ambiguous to me, it sounds like maybe she is waiting to see if he will come back to her, and she might leave the current man to go back to him.
