Is it normal for a relationship to be dead when you're not with that person?

I've been in a relationship with a guy for almost two years. The first year was amazing like all relationships at the beginning with the constant texts and face timing every night. It seems as though I worry more about our relationship having any hope for the future only when we're not together due to the fact we hardly talk and when we do, its just us on the phone for five minutes in silence until he gives an excuse as to why he has to get off. We have nothing to talk about! While we're together though, its great! We talk, we joke, we laugh. This is my longest relationship so I'm not sure if this is normal or not. I graduated high school in May and he's now a senior, for the record. Please give advice on whether what I've been feeling is normal or not and how I could fix this.

    Seems normal. Try making a list of talking points before you call him.

    It's normal. but you do not need to talk on the phone everyday if both have nothing to say. That will make a forced conversation. You tend to be online in internet? is much easier to get things to talk about in this case: you can send funny links, etc... and maybe you or he remember something related to the link, or express opinions about it, etc ... and so the conversation will come naturally.

    You surely need to fix this...if he doesnt start a conversation then you should start..you can ask him how was his day..and also plan for going out somewhere..!

    It doesn't sound normal to me. It sounds normal if he's not interested but it's certainly not healthy. Sounds like he isn't as invested in the relationship as you are.
