 My dear try to be realistic, I know they say true love waits but just enjoy being a young girl first and dont be ladened down with the issue of being in love in 6 years time, if it is meant to be then maybe after that long period you could reunite but be a young girl first and live your life. Take care. xXx

 Hey there,
Okay, so as you probably know, six years is a hell of a long time to wait for someone and expect them to wait for you. A lot can change, especially in your teenage years, so to have this 'promise' to one another that you will wait until you're 18 is very far-fetched and naive if you ask me.
Why not just live in the present, enjoy each other company, work on developing a tight friendship and not worry so much about the future?
It is too much to expect someone to feel the same in 6 years, especially when you are both still so young and the world is so big. I'm not saying that what you feel for each other isn't real, all i'm saying is don't sit around waiting for your 18th birthday to come around so you can be with this person, otherwise you will miss the fun and spontaniety of your teenage years.
Of course you can still love someone without actually being with them, but instead of waiting 6 years to develop that love, work on your friendship and concentrate on that kind of love instead and see what happens over the years. xxx
