Here's my take on it.

The tree is a place where a man an old love used to meet; to get away from the city, the noise, and just enjoy each other's company. Under this tree, he learned real love, probably for the first time.

Now, many years have passed, and all the man has of that love is just the tree's presence to serve as a reminder. And now, even the tree's about to be gone.
