She's in college, and college is the time when you want to be able to let loose and have fun. With you being so far away, that kind of makes it so that she can't even have fun with you, so she's extending her reach a little.
Could it work out? Maybe. Will it? Honestly, likely not. It seems you had a fairly typical "high school romance" and they don't always work out. She's never experienced anything outside of you and wants to "see the world", so to speak.
If this is a serious "just a break" thing, the communication will continue. If the communication starts waning between you two, I have to honestly say that it might be the start of the end. Take heart, though, there are many women in this world, as i'm sure you've noticed- and no matter how "the one" this girl felt, you will find another who will feel even more "right". It's life, man. Its unpredictability is part of its charm.
