Mloma has it nailed...almost...

and here is why...We have a tenancy not to age the people we have loved or love over long periods of time. We view this relationship as static...everything sort of freezes until the next interaction or meeting "updates" our memory.

Here is what I would add...she once loved him...at the time he was not ready...since then, over time, she moved on. Time passes and he now believes there is a place in her life but now she has moved on.

I think it's about the guy remembering her more fondly than she remembers him. He was infatuated with her, but he "never made her think twice." They run into each other and he tells her some story from the past that she doesn't remember or care much about.

In his mind, she was important to him and he had feelings for her. She didn't feel the same way. "As he rises to her apology, anybody else would surely know, he's watching her go."
