In my opinion, he is of course, like most said, talking about the friendships we make and lose. I think he wonders what he misses Johnny for because he knows that missing him won't bring him back and even though they had good times, they're over now and he's going to make new friends. He is just honoring the beauty of friendship and the sadness of loss.
Only making peace with the loss can help us accept that "birds must fly" (we must die). Yes? No? Maybe? I think so.
