You're right, it was written for Tusk, at which time she was actually in a relationship with Mick Fleetwood (who then left her dfor her best friend Sara during the recording for the album) so it could be about Mick. I secretly hope that its about Lindsey though :) The lines " I loved you from the start" and "Though the love has always been" seems to indicate a much longer relationship at the start of the fleetwood mac journey- she knew Lindsey while in school and they had a long tumultuous relationship however there were always feelings there, even...

Also the fact she talks about dealing with the road, suggests to me that it is, again, about Lindsey. While on tour for Rumours, Lindsey was dating Carol Ann Harris, something that was incredibly difficult for Stevie to deal with for 24 hours a day!
But who knows, like you say, an absolutely beautiful song!
Was this about Lindsey? I'm not so sure. Storms appeared on Tusk, and that was long after they had broken up.
Regardless of the inspiration, it's a beautiful and achingly-sad song.
