<human>: He (26) is an old friend, who I (F/28) met when he was on exchange (from another country) for a year at my university about 4 years ago. He was recently back here for a holiday, he admitted that he's always had feelings for me and we've spent the last week in a ridiculous, love-infused stupor. We're high on love, which is something that neither of us has ever really experienced before. I know it sounds tragic but we're not kids anymore, we've both had plenty of relationships, we've had enough experiences to know exactly what we want from life/love. I think we could be amazing together. 

For as long as I've known him, its always been his plan to move to my country/city so thats not the problem. The problem is that he cant move until he finishes med school, which is in 2 years time. We can't walk away and give up on what we have but I'm scared that trying to do the long distance thing will ruin everything before we've really had chance to be together.

Given that he's literally on the other side of the world, we'll probably only be able to see each other once, maybe twice a year. I guess my title was misleading, I KNOW its crazy, but we very much want to make this work.

Does anyone have any positive LDR stories to share? What are the most important things to making it work? Would it be better if we don't make any promises, go on with our lives as normal and just see whether we feel the same way in 2 years time?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
