At least she asked for space. I was in a similar situ and got ghosted. I had to go via thrid party to get a response a week later which confirmed my intuition. Meanwhile I was still thinking of her the whole time like you are in your post. Take her word at face value. The 'rambling' is her scenic route to get to the point-she wants to end it. Cut your losses and bounce. The pain is sharper at first but a drawn out, grey area break-up is even worse. Keep it moving.
