Chance at reconnecting?

I want honest opinions on my breakup and whether you think there’s realistically any chance of us reconnecting someday, even if it’s just as friends. I’m not asking if you think she will come back or if I should wait for her. I know the relationship is over, and I’m moving forward with my life. I just want outside perspectives.
We started talking in March. There were definitely mistakes on my end early on, especially with insecurity and a loyalty test that hurt her trust. Over time, though, I genuinely started changing. I became more confident, started treating myself better, and was trying to show that through my actions. One issue was that we hardly got to see each other because plans kept falling through, and she later admitted that most of the plans not happening were because of her.
Eventually, she told me she didn’t want the relationship anymore. During our final conversation, I didn’t argue, beg, guilt-trip her, or get angry. Instead, I told her I understood her decision, admitted where I had been insecure, explained that I had been growing and becoming more confident, and said I wished she’d had the chance to see more of that growth. I also thanked her for everything and told her I didn’t have any resentment toward her.
She replied by saying, “I’m really sorry. I genuinely do love you so much.” I responded, “I understand. I love you too,” and she heart-reacted to it. The conversation ended respectfully, warmly, and without either of us attacking the other.
I’m not asking whether this means she’ll come back, because I know nobody can know that. My question is whether ending things with honesty, love, and respect instead of anger makes it more realistic that we could reconnect someday if life ever brought our paths together again, compared to if things had ended with resentment. I’d appreciate honest opinions, whether they’re optimistic or not.
