I used to believe this song was about the singer's (Leigh's) loss of love, a loss of someone who mattered more than anything else. Over time I began to think that the relationship was what caused the loneliness, that her "darling" had pushed her away and she had written him off long ago and merely stayed out of hope for a return to what had once meant so much. Because she couldn't get back that feeling/get over what had caused the loss of that feeling, she was lonely the whole time, and, even knowing the turmoil of ending such an involved, important relationship, she would welcome the end of it and the end of her loneliness. Just my take.
