Dear Vanessa
wow your letter is so much like what i am going through. my friend in the US has alters that i have also fallen in love with. it does hurt because he came and went and now is going again. they have all spent holidays here and we have had fun times going around london. i got to know them real well and they became good friends. many people can not understand hoe yoiu can fall in love with someone you only hear and never see but you can. because its built on trust, i hope your one comes back as i hope my one will. only thing is i live in the UK and they live in the US so we talk on the phone a lot, good luck with yours
