I am scared. I am in love for the first time, or what I perceive to be love. I just started a relationship with a wonderful girl, and I am currently giving the relationship my all. I dream of someday marrying her, but I don’t think she shares the dream with me, as she is only a sophomore with a limited future outlook, and I am a senior who is about to enter the world. I am leaving for a mission for my church for two years, during which time I expect that she will move on and enjoy the rest of her high school time, and probably date other guys. I just hope that when I come back and start college at the same time she starts that we will be able to renew our relationship and turn it into an eventual marriage. The truth is that this dream will probably never come to pass. I will leave for my mission and we will drift apart. I am depressed due to this however because I fear I will never meet a girl like her again. I know that there are many fish in the sea, but I also know that no two are alike, and even if she isn’t the one for me, I will be pained if I see her marry or even date anyone who I don’t think is worthy to date her.
