I think the song is about an impossible love which is described through his eyes.
He is found reflecting on her words while looking at the passing water and at the dying animals in the forest. He doesn't want to let go, to let his thoughts pass away but remains and always comes back to the same repetitive, almost obsessive words which she said sometime to him.
Now her words are not many, but I think they are the key to their separation: "I am young and I am yours, I am free" - all the conditions for their love are met. But she continues and says: "but I am flawed". She recognizes some sort of incompatibility between them or maybe something strictly about her which just cannot make them fit. Then the really bitter part comes: "I am here in your heart. I was here from the start". Something links her to him and although their love is somehow interrupted, she tries to comfort him by resorting to the time they had together at some point. That past time together rooted her in his heart and she will remain there forever.
I do not understand the meaning of the bridge though. It seems something changed in their relationship, but I fail to grasp the significance.
