Very sweet sentiment. I agree entirely with you that it would have previously been seen as romantic, now just pressure (ie "hey honey, remember the past?"). Don't respond to her e-mail. She didn't write any questions into it or anything that would suggest you should respond. What she wrote is straightforward..."I don't know what the future holds for us, but being pressured about it doesn't do either of us any good.
Please, be patient."
Please do not mess this up by trying to "woo" her back when all she wants is space. Give her space for awhile.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt
