A2A, sorry but you have nothing now. Once you remove the source of regular interaction from a relationship, then it dies a slow, inevitable, put-the-poor-thing-out-of-its-misery death.
Nothing else matters if you can’t see each other in person and interact. Only rich people can carry on long distance flirtations / romances / courtships. They’re the only ones with the resources to schedule regular meet ups.
Find someone close to you and put emotional distance between you and your friend to match the physical distance.
