Phunktastic,
There's nothing wrong with a 2 year age difference. The problem is that you're pretty young still, and she's just to young.
You're both a couple years to young to form a long term relationship, mostly because you'll both keep maturing, and become "different" people over the next few years.
That said, I think it's great that you be friends. I suggest you write her letters and/or E-mails, and phone her about once a week. Definitely tell her she should date other people, and that you will. You could take her out on a date when you're in her town, but don't let it be exclusive.
Try not to let your relationship with her be sexual. She's still jail bait (in most states), and the reason it's illegal is that society recognizes that she isn't mature enough to make wise choices about sex, or to raise the baby that can be a consequence of it.
If you're still friends when she turns 18, then start dating her more seriously. When she turns 19, if you want to make it permanent, then go to that level.
