It suggests that the speaker will actually be leaving his love soon.

Explanation:

In "A Red, Red Rose," the author Robert Burns addresses a woman he loves very deeply and describes her beauty and how much he loves her. Thus, in the final stanza, the speaker says that he will leave her very soon, probably for a short period of time. However, he gives his word that he will come back, even if he has to walk ten thousand miles, which demonstrates that love can survive in spite of distance.
