I would say that the candle=love, but that's basically the same thing I guess. Anyway, I agree with what's been said, but to add to that, the "I left you crying at the alter of your mind" reminds me of a wedding that he didn't show up to. He left her crying at the altar of a church. Don't think it's literal, but more that the led her on to believe that he would be with her forever, marry her, etc...but then ended up leaving her. He's pleading with her to not give up on love just because they didn't work out. She still may be able to find love with somebody else as long as she remains open to it and doesn't close off her heart. She needs to be the same person she was when he met her.
