New Found Relationship

So for almost 7 years me and this guy have known each other and been real close friends. We have this relationship were we liked each other but we respected each other enough to keep it as just friends. So last for my 21st birthday he came and helped me celebrate with a nice gift of perfume. We talked and talked and we knew something was there but I think I was the only one ready to make our relationship more than what it has been. So I left it alone and moved on.
This Summer when I finally saw him things became alittle different. Feelings were there just like it always have been but I think it was a opportunity to try something new. For these past 7 years we have never had relations (s.e.x) or anything and we have been just great friends. Until August, things became something more than us just being friends. We finally took our relationship to a different level. It was well worth it because we friends first and we both wanted it.
Now I want an actual boyfriend/girlfriend relationship and we really can't be that to each other because I'm in school and he finally moved to Atlanta. #Dagger! I really like this guy but I also don't want to go crazy when I can't talk to him or even when I can't see him. I feel if you really want something you'll make it work. So for now I'm just gonna pray about it and see wat life lessons take me.
