Answer

It is not permissible for both of you to chat with one another. The consequences of chatting, loving, etc. is the actual reason for the prohibition.

If you do not stop now, the love could go much further. We have handled innumerable cases where young boys and girls chat with one another and thereafter engage in illicit relationships.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
