Meaning
This points to love as more than feeling, it reads as a source of orientation when other supports have fallen away. The line can be taken to mean that faith in love is really faith that life still holds possibility, even in a hard season. It lands when someone is rebuilding after disappointment, and needs a reason to keep moving.
