The song doesn't need an interpretation as the lyrics are very moving w/o one.
I take it the one who died was a girl from his pre-teen years...his puppy love. They had a very memorable summer together. Over time they drifted apart and kept in touch rarely.
All those memories of that summer come back to him as he reads a letter telling him that this girl had died....dwelling up all sorts of emotions.
Now those thoughts that once brought him happiness, will only hurt now, and no longer bring a smile as they once did.
