Will I ever have a chance with this guy?

If you don't wish to hold on and hope for nothing, then simply don't hold on and hope for nothing. Live your life in the present and you'll find soon enough that what was once the future is now the present. As he said, what's meant to happen will happen. By dreaming away about a future that is uncertain, you may miss the certainties in the present. And what is certain is that you have a future ahead of you to build on, based on what is within your control, such as your college education and how well you do.
