I'm sure this has all been heard before but I'm just seeking some opinions from other people due to the fact that - as you'd expect - talking about it with anyone I know is just a wee bit problematic

Basically, I am 16. I am a boy. I am in love with a 15 year old. He is a boy. He is straight.
That's a brief surmation of the situation. I say "in love" and I imagine all you OAPs going "you're too young to love". I mean what I say, I have
never felt this way about anyone before, and doubt I will for a while. It's consumptive love, it's destructive love, it's wholly obsessive love. I can't stop thinking about him, every minute with him is one I cherish and now - after two and a bit years at the same school - he's moving to a different country, after we've done our GCSEs.
Naturally this is depressing for me, I have these visions of a miraculous meeting where I confess everything and he wants to stay. It's more a delusion than a vision, I suppose. I've written one of the longest love letters ever (probably

), currently standing at just under 35,000 words, and I feel it would be easier just to send it to his new address when he's abroad, and hope he reads and replies. At 35,000 words, it's doubtful.
Anyway, I suppose the real reason I made this post was just asking for advice/opinions/other people's experiences, just to "lighten the load" on my mind, because it's utterly heartbreaking
