<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

I have been with this girl since the start of the last school year so like 10 months? It was great but then summer started. 
She started saying that it was too hard for her to be away from me. Things started to kinda fall apart and we both decided a break would be good.
This is the first girl I've ever had true feelings for so the thought of being over for good is just killing me. 
I realize that it wasn't perfect due to separation, but I really want to get back together when we are back in school. 
I just don't know what to do in the meantime. She has already said she misses me so Idk like what to say to her. 
I just don't want to grow so far apart from her this summer that in the fall she has no feelings anymore. 
I guess I just need some advice for what to do right now to keep communication there, and to keep the chances of getting back together in the fall good.
<bot>: girlfriend and I are taking a break over the summer. Need some help on what to do right now. I'm not ready to be over her
