<human>: This girl and I although, not an official couple, have been seeing each other for several months now. She has moved about 1 hour away from me a few months back, and works 7 days a week at four jobs, making seeing each other difficult. Whenever the opportunity would arise, I'd make it a point to see her, calling out of work, skipping class, and borrowing cars if mine was in the shop.

Whenever we would be together, everything seemed perfect, all the "coupley" things would happen, holding hands, kissing, what not, but afterwards she'd get distant for about a week or so (nearly no contact, if any). She told me her ex had hit her on more than one occasion, a couple of which she need to go to the ER for help.

This pass week she had been distant again after our last date, and on my birthday, she didn't call, or even send a "hey happy birthday." Even though its extremely petty, i was pretty hurt, so i sent a long text bringing up how she always gets distant, and how it felt like she was just playing me. After several hours, she said that its not a game to her, but that she thinks we should concentrate on our separate lives and how shes not ready for those feelings.
Im going to see her tomorrow after she gets out of work, and i know exactly what to expect, but I know I love her, and have for weeks. 

Im pretty sure theres no way to salvage this immediately, but how could i go about keeping in contact with her, and potentially keeping her part of my life?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Girl out of abusive relationship says she isn't ready to feel "those" feelings yet, but I love her, and dont want to lose her.
