Ten Months

Very few things affect us more than rejection by someone we want to love us but they don't, or they do but can't say it. This is especially true when two people are inhibited by conservative beliefs, religious fervor and the inability to follow their heart. A hard and distant father can be one of those people but so can your first encounter with romantic love when she or he passes through your life and then goes away. Our personal convictions can become a source of conflict and pain, but that's the back story to so many one sided relationships. It can be exhilarating and agonizing leaving you euphoric one moment and in despair the next.
