wishing for the best...

What do you do when the person you love doesn't love you back? I've really been struggling with this, and it's kinda sad.  See, the guy that loves me fucked things up a long time ago, so I ended it.  I moved on, and fell in love harder than I ever thought I would.  I've known this guy for years, but it wasn't until my ex went to jail that I realized how much I liked him.  That was 2 years ago....and now I truly am in love with him.  But he's leaving.  And so am I.  By this time next year I will be in my second semester of college, and he will probably be in Afghanistan.  But separate paths don't change emotions.  And it kills me that either he doesn't love me back or he's too much of a coward to tell me.  I'd die for him.  But is he willing to do the same for me?  I hope so.  I hope the way he acts is only because he is afraid he will get hurt....
