My take is also that Creedence is a girl.
Ashworth has written a few songs from the perspective of a female, New Years Kiss, Scattered Pearls to name two.
I'd be interested to hear Jenny Herbinson sing this one, I would think it's only that Owen's voice is, as described above, somewhat gruff, that makes the subject more likely to be a guy.
For me, proposals summed it up, it's about two female friends growing up, and growing apart.
As for the love they shared, it's obvious to me the love is platonic. I've lost friends to outside relationships and there is a gap in your life when those mates are not around.
Just Owen Ashworth sums it up better that I ever though of it: It feels like a divorce.
It was never a real marriage, but the feeling of missing a friend being around is somewhat similar.
