<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

We've been together since we were young teenagers, we're in our mid 20's now. Things got tough when we went to different universities, as we knew they would; but we visited each other lots, and made it work. She finished uni and moved home, I'm still here, it's a very long course. As I approach the final year of my course the work load is intence, and she has been working two jobs this year at home; it's been almost impossible to see each other. 
She visited me the other day, and in the back of my mind I think I knew what was about to happen. When she told me she couldn't keep waiting for it to start properly, I wasn't surprised. She left that evening, emotionally traumatic would be an understatement. 
I still have one more year left at university, but I can't let this happen! I've loved her for too long to let her go like this, and I think she still loves me too, just one more year and I can move back home with her!
I asked her to come back, but she said we just need time to see how we feel. Am I in denial to think that there is still hope? It wasn't a final "it's over". She is the only person I've ever loved, and I let our relationship become one of promises. I don't know what to do, this is killing me. Has anyone ever come back from something like this?
<bot>: love of my life left me after relationship went long distance and wants time to see how we feel. Am I in denial thinking there is still hope?
