Yes, love does come to those that wait....the truth is, it usually ends up being with someone other than the person you want or imagined.
If you think being together during school could be problematic to the relationship then don't pursue it at the moment......if you are meant to get back together you will. But maybe you are supposed to be with someone else, and maybe the time apart will reveal to you that person who is really meant for you. No one said this isn't supposed to be painful.
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. - Mohandas Gandhi
