what are the rules?

We didn't discuss the parameters or the rules of this. What does it mean to give someone space and time? What does it really mean to 'pull back'. I don't know. I've interpreted it as this: Amy keeps her feelings to herself while Dick finds his way. Amy suffers in silence. Love is held hostage. I rip you out of my life and you rip me out of yours -- we share nothing. For what? Is this suffering really necessary? It seems so terribly self-centered to me right now. It's all about you. What about me? I'm set aside. I wait.

I pray without ceasing and I weep. That's all that I can do. I am bound. Love is held hostage.

Will our love survive? Will it be strengthened or will it be destroyed from neglect?
