Does she really love me? Is this what true love is?

Tweet

Love can be defined in many ways. It can even be expressed in hundred or thousand ways. But what really is true love? I have a friend for 11 years already. We started as collaborators in a project. We discovered that we have so many things in common. Views, values, likes, dislikes, terminologies or lingo, and even jokes we have almost the same. She can ride on my jokes, even the ones, that i thought its uncommon.She can follow my way of thinking and can discuss many things under the sun. She is a music lover, a poet,talented and multi-awarded in her college days. Beautiful inside and out.In short, I admire and love almost everything about her. I told her I love her and she said the same. Since we are separated by distance because is living in another country, we nurture our relationship through daily chats and my regular visits twice or thrice a year in her country. I can say we knew each other fully well. Everyday, we chat and share our plans of the day, and many other things. She gives me sound advices whenever I am down. She is one of my sources of strength when I am in a difficulty. Reprimands me lovingly when i don't take good care of my health. When i cannot chat because I'm tired, she would worry and would call me up.Cheer me up when I am sad and lonely. She will have a tantrum when i cannot deliver what I have promised but could easily be pacified when i explained the reason. This is the usual way of our life with the help of the net/ technology. We have planned for our marriage this year 2 years ago. We were excited and hopeful about it.Lately, she has not communicated with me. I promised her that I will see her this vacation and will plan out things but because of my work and school deadlines, I was not able to communicate with her as well. She sent offline messages several times and I tried to answer in one word or two words only. She said she understands that I am busy with my work and my studies and she loves me with all her heart without expecting something in return. I am so grateful about it. But how come that for two weeks now she has not communicated with me? This is very unlikely of her to be quite and not calling me. Does she really mean what she said about loving me without expecting something in return. What does she mean? I know i have many lapses. I have said many things to her that I was not able to fulfill and I love her. What is the problem? Does she really truly love me ? I'm confused. Please give me some enlightenment.
