My life feels so empty right now... Is there hope?

well, first of all, congrats on finding somebody that early (i'm thirteen, and where exactly is MY true love? lol), and second of all, you need to consider trying to date a little while he's away. i know that sounds wrong and whatnot, but trust me, you're too young to find a soul-mate. you'll never know what love truly feels like till you've dated a little while and understand your feelings wholly. personally, i want to meet my true love in either my senior year or in college, when i know my type more, know what i want in a significant other, what I want with my life, and have MY priorities straightened out. you can't fully love someone until you know who you are inside. so, try dating around, and af your feelings stay strong, then confront him and tell him so. but, if they fade, talk to him and discuss it. remember, you ARE thirteen, so be thirteen. falling in love that fast isn't really good. Feelings can fade. hope i helped!
