Could this be about a broken marriage? I know most seem to think it is about simply a loved one leaving him, but consider that when you wed you make a promise to each other (your vows). Obviously the narrator had strong emotions for their partner (again which suggests may have been more than simply a crush / girlfriend) and that by them leaving him they have "broken promises" to be together for each other.
