<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

My boyfriend [17M] and I [17F] have been dating for two years. We love each other more than anything and both don't want to break up and lose each other. But he says that the distance between our colleges (New York and Washington) is too far and he doesn't think he can handle a long-distance relationship. 

He is my first love and I hate the idea of losing him when nothing is wrong with the relationship it's simply distance. Recently I have been mentioning long-distance but he ignores my comments, which is understandable because we don't plan on breaking up until August so he doesn't want to talk about it now. I don't know if i should continue fighting for this relationship or let him take control and end it for what feels like an unfair reason. 

I love him so much and I just want him to see that not all long-distance relationships end horribly (because he's convinced they do)
<bot>: We are going to colleges across the country. i suggested long-distance because i love him so much. He thinks he can't handle it. What do I do??
