Don't stop believing?

I feel quite demoralised after hearing what happened to my friends' long distance relationships. Whatever happened to true love waits? Love does fail sometimes. In fact, most of the times for long distance relationships. I'm not trying to be drama here, I'm just worried. I really am. You can't be sure if the other party is still on the same page as you are when he is so far away. I want to be positive, I try to. I try not to freak out over small things, but I do. I suppose when you are in a relationship, there's no such thing as 'something small'. Every little thing means something. Like a text message, if you don't hear from the other party, at least a text message will do. I tend to freak out if I don't hear from him for the entire day. I need the attention, I really do. The attention that a girl would need when her boyfriend is so far away. I need that extra something to make me feel at ease, to make me believe that true love waits.
