Things that Bother Me...Girlfriends->Friend->Nothing

For years I wanted a girlfriend, someone I could do stupid shit with like holding hands and buying stuff for. I always had this picture in my head of being the perfect boyfriend. This summer I finally got my shot, I met this girl and fell for her instantly. For about a month we were perfect for each other, watching movies together, walking on the beach, stupid shit like I had said previously. Then all of a sudden it stopped, just like that everything was done. Considering she goes to school miles away from me, a long distance relationship didn't seem to be in the cards even though I was willing to keep one. Conversations became a minimum and then there were weeks of not a single word exchanged, but for what reason? My feelings were still there, but who knows what was going through her head, I may never know. Where do I go from here? I mean first things first I just want to have a conversation and catch up, ya know? Talking I have learned is the key to any situation, keeping feelings and emotions inside will only hurt you in the long run. To quote Forrest Gump "I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is." Maybe I am still searching for it, but stumbling upon it will be that much better in the end.
