Taking a break with my gf?

Serious answers please. Here's the situation. My gf is feeling like overly stressed with everything and feels like she just needs time to herself to figure everything out. I fully respect that, yet it hurts. I feel like NOT having her in my life is more distracting than having her in my life. Mainly because it's like up in the air right now. Both of us have very busy lives and neither of us wanted like super committed relationship (like hanging out everyday ect.). We've been together for almost 10 months now and we love each other. We both agreed that we would get back together during the summer or sooner as long as nothing is in the way of it. I guess I just need someway of dealing with the side of me that misses her. The other side just tells me this all the time, "She'll miss you; just watch her come running back to you after a month or so. It'll work out." Her and I made it clear that we DONT want to break up at this point because there's still hope for us. Her and I agreed to stay faithful to each other during this time. I know her and she knows me, we're not gonna crack and go with other people during this time. So don't mention that as an answer. Suggestions? Tips?
