Are we having a hard time because of the distance?

Well we did go out this summer. He said that we broke up because of distance. He used to live in this town but recent events cough his mother cough made him move. He is almost 20 but is afraid of leaving his mom alone even though they have relatives where they live and he could visit her. I am 15 going to be 16 in about 8 months (May 1). He told me that if he still lived in the same town as me he would gladly date me. When we were dating I did act clingy for the reason being that I knew he was going to be moving and I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible before he left. He lives an hour away but he says it’s 2 hours (I looked it up on mapquest and I was right… 1 hour and 13 minutes). I really love him. We broke up about 2 months ago in late June. I alway dream of him and when I last talked to him on the phone because I was upset he made me feel a lot better. I talked to him about my family emotionally abusing me and always trying to make up with it with either buying me what I want or pleading for forgiveness. I also asked how he was and to tell me about his day. Our phone conversation was pretty interesting. My friend LeAnn recently said she will give me rides up when she could. He works about all the time… 7a.m. to 4/5 p.m. and around 7-8p.m he goes back. He says he occasionally gets a day off but hardly ever. He said we would hardly get to see each other and bla bla bla. I told him as long as we communicated somehow (email and occasional phone calls) I would be fine with it. I graduate in about 2 1/2 years because I am graduating early. I am a sophomore btw. So my senior year after we let out for X-mas break I am done. What do I do. He says he does have feelings for me but then he doesn’t. My friend Shawn has that problem with his woman who is in a different town. Then when he sees her he isn’t confused anymore. Could it be that? Could it be the one hour distance between us and the fact I haven’t seem him for about a month? Please help a girl that is madly in love. I did date after him and was with other men but I couldn’t find love in my heart for them so I had to leave them. So I know what I feel is 100% real. Help… I will forever love you if you do help me.
