"won't be haunted by dreams i've deferred"
-i think it kinda refers to the langston hughes poem 'raisin in the sun' where he asked the question "what happens to a dream deferred?"
-shes just saying that she won't let what she wanted the relationship to be constantly be a reminder of how the relationship really went and will not allow the memory of it to constantly nag at her
That line is definitely a reference to "Raisin in the Sun", but I think it has a different meaning in the song.

I believe she was in a relationship that was initially great and everything she had hoped for, but it eventually went sour. It's that memory of that perfect moment that kept her with that person, hoping that it will come back. At some point she realizes the relationship will never be what it once was, so she decides to end it.
