This poem is clearly about the love he has for his wife. Now that he is aging and approaching death, he really looks back at his life and what mistakes he has made. He thinks he has done her wrong, so he declares his love for her now.
A lot of people, in the last days/years of their lives, want to settle all quarrels and say the things they had not said enough in their lifetime. I believe this is what Williams is doing. He felt that he did not tell his wife he loved her enough in their life, so he took the opportunity with his poetry to say everything he could not say in life.
This is a beautiful poem, however it is read.
