Meaning
This reads as a refusal to treat heartbreak as fixed fact. It suggests that ending a relationship also involves interpretation, self-talk, and the work of choosing a future, so recovery needs momentum as much as grief. It lands when someone is stuck replaying the ending, because the line points toward action, perspective, and the possibility of moving again.
