I love the idea that the story reflects the cycle of life/nature, and that this is reflected in the last couple of series I'm also reminded of the concept of the triple goddess that embodies this trio of birth/life/death or growth/fruiting/decay. The situation with the Pond's now is one of - effectively - stasis "I can't not wait for you, even now." Stasis is not normal or healthy, in the cycle of life everything has to change, like you say no one can move on to the germination/growth stage again until they stop holding on. My worry is that this will be forced on both the Ponds and 11, and not be of their free will. That they cannot choose to leave, and he cannot let them go, so it's down to the Universe to set the cycle going again by somehow tearing them apart. I don't like that idea. I hope they leave of their own volition.
