I know that, considering the fact that I’m only here for another month, I really shouldn’t have fallen as hard as I have.
But I have.
You make me want to sit by my phone all day so I don’t miss your call. You make me want to ‘accidentally’ stop in at your work to see if maybe it’s your lunch break, and if possibly I can buy you whatever it is your hungry for, just so I can get 30 more minutes of you in before I go.
You make me want to lay my cards on the table and let you know how I feel, because after the night we spent together watching fireworks from across the bay I’m 99% sure you must feel the same way too. If only a little bit.
Your kiss is amazing, and I could never get enough.
But I leave in a month, and I know I shouldn’t have fallen for you as hard as I have, but I have. —Leaving Soon

Whatever, you’ll find someone else and forget about them soon enough.
There is nothing greater than a connection that exceeds all expectations.
