Well, I am afraid you are all wrong here XD. I have just learned pretty interesting information about this song and I know it is not about her past relationships, especially not about Lindsley XD. First of all the verses: "I hear about you now and then
I wonder where you are and how you feel
Sometimes I walk by and I look up to your balcony
Just to make sure that you were real
Just to make sure that I can still feel you" - they are about Christine McVie and some strange situation with her at the balcony. And that's for sure because Nicks said about it in an Interview.
The verses: "Maybe we were together (...)" but especially "Six weeks in foreign (...)" refers to her holiday in Chile where she was together with some friend with whom she had romantic relationship. So it is about both that time off and their affair. The verses: "I like the coastal cities (...)" are only about just her visit in Chile and how she liked being there and how she loves this kind of places in general.
And the rest of the verses are about returning to Fleetwood Mac. Well, to be clear - she went to Chile in 1979 because she was tired after Tusk recording and her failed relationships with Lindlsey and Mick and the whole toxic situation that came again between the all five band members. Let alone it was enough for her that they didn't want to give more credit with her own songs that was also making her pissed. And that guy with whom she traveled to Chile added that she was also tired of the intense celebration and touring because of their success with album Rumours. But then she had to come back - not only because she had troubles in that country because of dictatorship (something unpleasant happened to her during some curfew) but as she always says - being in FM or just music business is like being in army whether you are needed or not etc. Her destiny is just to stay with Fleetwood Mac. She has to follow the rules and the rules say that you have to be with the band.
@Jekaterina That's right. The guy the song's about is Hernan Rojas, an engineer on the Tusk album. They spent a few weeks together in Chile during the dictatorship. Stevie's Bella Donna song & album are dedicated to his mother "Maria Theresa Rojas" in the liner notes.
