I don't know which to believe because both are plausible. The fact that love (and relationships) often hurt like hell is certain a theme in the movie, but the ending is much like a glass with water filled to the half way mark: is it half empty or half full? To a point, I think the writer leaves us with that question: do we believe in love? Our choice in that belief colors our perception of the end scene.
