Open Question: Losing the spark? What am I doing wrong?!?

Me and my boyfriend started as a long distance relationship. I stay with him all during the summer and I go to university during the year and see each other every 2 months for the weekends. The distance have been quite stressful as of late because our 2nd year anniversary is coming up. We've come to the stage where we're beyond the infatuation stage and I realize that I'm starting to pick out many little flaws about him which I put aside as being no big problem before. We have arguments which I understand is inevitable and we talk it out very maturely and we do get past most of them. He's promised to move to my city next year. He is forgetful and I feel like I am less of a priority when he forgets things I tell him that is important to me. I used to remind him nicely but it gets tiring and a little annoying after this long. I think its partially my problem because that is who he is and he tells me hes trying to write things down and use methods to help him remember. There are other small little problems like these but I think its all part of the relationship process of getting to know each other and accepting each other for who they are. The problem is with every argument I feel I am drifting apart from him... I feel like I am less of a priority compounded by the distance makes it very difficult for me to feel loved. I do not want to lose him but it seems we are losing the spark. When he tells me he loves me on the phone and being sweet, it just reminds me of all the hurt he brings and I try to distance myself to protect myself from further pain. Is this not normal? Please help. Any suggestion, expertise, or insight is greatly appreciated!
