Got it in one, didn't I? Don't get bent out of shape. It's one of the quintessential human life problems, right up there with 'I'm 35 and I still live in my mom's basement' and 'it's 8pm but I'm too lazy to make myself food.'
I'm not joking.
I don't really feel love, exactly, but the purpose of love is to bond people together so intimately that they never wish to be apart. It promotes social harmony and the advancement of a species. What you're feeling is an unfortunate side-effect.
But! What it also means is that you've found somebody who cared deeply about you and whom you cared about so much that you're willing to risk this pain. And isn't that the true measure of the human experience?
Besides, you're just going to end up back home sooner or later anyway. It's not like they're dead.
