Emotional Overload with Romantic Fantasies - Assistance Please

[Idylle Moon Dancer]

I have a HUGE, impossible crush,
and I think she feels it too.

The way we looked in each other's eyes when we met,
how her Sunny disposition makes it easy for me to come from my shell,
how she finds me fairly fascinating.

She's leaving soon for years and far away,

I remembered a song about a woman who rescues a man from prison
and finds him again seven years later on his wedding day,
and he takes his rescuer over the new-bride.

I remembered how Freya searched weeping tears of gold for her lost husband,
how she found him as a horrible sea-monster,
but saw him in his eyes, and comforted him.

I would tell her exactly how awesome she is,
and ask that we would meet again.

Is that wise?

So there's the fire and water of it, so to speak.

I met her in March; there is a large age difference; she's going across the country to finish school.

Any loving energy or words of advice are most welcome,
my faith has gotten a little shaky that I will not pine when she leaves.

1. I think you will pine.

She has touched you. You will always have that, as they say. Pale comfort.

If you're asking for real, I think it would be fine to tell her. You're obviously respectful and caring, so that will smooth the way. Then you never have to wonder, what if...

2. thank you

I'm tired of accumulating "what if?"'s
my vision of what to do is beginning to clarify

3. I agree with votesomemore

Speak up. Let her know what you think and see if you can arrange to continue your growing relationship long distance.
