<human>: I have been dating my girlfriend for approximately 3 years, since our junior year in high school. We're now in our sophomore year of college, and are at the end of our ropes. We both love each other and don't want to spend our futures with anyone else, but she goes to school states away while I work and go to school at home. The past few months something has been off, and we have been trying to work on it. 

The problem really can't be anything other than the distance, as everything is fine when we're together, but when she goes back away she gets this really odd attitude. She's very transparent and I know for a fact she's not cheating on me and the problem isn't the other guys and seeing room to grow, she has told me this repeatedly. It's strictly the distance when we're apart.

The other day she called me and said she was somewhere in between wanting to go on a break till she's home in May and ending it completely because the distance was just too much. She was in tears mostly because neither of us can realistically see a future with anyone else and both our families love the two of us, respectively. I woke up today feeling more empty and lost than I knew was possible, and I don't know where to go without her. I need to know how to fix the problem because I have given this relationship my absolute all and to think that there's anything else I could do is ridiculous. I don't have a clue what to do but I know we both want this to work out, it's like we both know we found the perfect person, just at a shitty time.

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: Girlfriend thinks the distance is too much and we both found the right person at the wrong time. How to not let her become the one who got away.
