I think it's just a story of two lovers and the development of their sexual relationship.
At first they are young and new to being together, and the first stanza may be a brief description of their first time to make love. Maybe it's a first love type thing, or a finally finding someone type thing.
By the second stanza, it's the realization that they are in love, but they are each at first in denial with excuses and "[other ways] to tell the truth". They then realize that they are meant to be because they can be both lovers and "best friends".
(the second stanza is the one i'm most unclear on... maybe its when they are middle aged and they are just getting used to getting older)
By the end they are both an old couple, and they've lost some of the physical strength they used to both have, but they are still in love so it doesn't matter.
