My take on it is that these are two lovers who never could get on the same page. When she wanted him, he wasn't there...when he wanted her, she wasn't there...now the result has left them both longing for something more. She feels it when she refers to him as her "friend", in fairy tales they always come together in the end, but in the real world, where people move on "no answer, ever did come." Sh has regrets because she had her chances with him and now...it's no use.
