The idea of having distance

So since may of this year I have been in a relationship and interestingly enough it is still going on even though I am an hour and a half away at college. The thoughts that first ran through my mind when August rolled around and I was about to leave was that "what if i loose interest and i find out that I don't really love her." Though it has been hard ironically I've learned more of how in love i am with my girlfriend, even though it will be only five months his friday it seems like it's been twice as long. Many people think that long distance relationships cannot work, i personally am one of them, funny I know, but for me i know i get to see my girlfriend at least once a month and every time i see her I make sure that I make the best of it. Leaving each time is hard though, anybody that is in my same situation knows that each time you have to walk away from her and the car back into your dorm alone is probably some of the hardest steps you have to take the entire time till you see her again. Here I am rambling but rambling words that I need to say to show to myself who I am in a relationship and how much I truly want this to last.
