Edit: I am 21, she is 22. We will most likely stay distant from each other for the next 2-3 years.

I need some advice.

I met my girlfriend this summer at an internship. We spent just about everyday together for the first 4 weeks of our relationship. I grew to love her after 3 weeks, and she was deeply in love with me after a mere 2.

After a month, we were forced to separate geographically. Our schools are ~200 miles apart, and we've seen each other every 2-3 weeks. I love her very much, but I felt differently towards her in the past week. I became confused with my feelings towards her. My head was wracked constantly by a headache of her absence. I spoke to her when I visited this past weekend. When I told her about this different feeling, we both erupted in tears. I told her how I loved her, but my feelings were different than our perfect love when we spent everyday together. She stated that she gave her heart to me, saying that she thought I was the "one." As I was about to leave, I cried in long bursts because she said, "if I say good-bye, I don't know if I'll lose you," at which point she burst out into tears.

I thought about all of our happy memories together, then told her that I loved her and couldn't leave her. The thought of leaving her apartment and never visiting, seeing her again left my heart devoid of feeling. I called her on the phone as I drove home, telling her how much I loved her and how I wanted to see her in 2 weeks - the time of our next meeting.

I felt oddly today, similar to my feeling from the previous week. I don't know if it's caused by my desire to see her or my need to leave her...
