Separated by seas and feeling incomplete

I met a wonderful man. This has never happened to me before but, if love at first sight exists then I have fallen - fast and hard. We spent the most romantic month together. We traveled a bit too. We were very intimate and mutually shared strong feelings for one another. All during this time we both knew that shortly he would be relocating out of the country for a work assignment that lasts one year. This fact made it difficult to get close to him but, the times spent together were so amazing that I knew the heart break would be worth spending every moment I could with him before he disappeared. Basically our month we complete perfection.

Now he is gone. He left two weeks ago. We email and both miss one another - but, are planning on an overseas trip to visit him. The problem? I don't know if the one month we had is reason enough for him to take me seriously. I want to be with him and would leave tomorrow to join him. I feel that life is too short and I don't want to lose him because of the long distance that separates us for this next year. I don't want to scare him and come on too strong but, then again what do I have to lose? How can I sanely tell him that I am head over heels for him and life is not complete with him so far away? Why wait twelve months for happiness? I am ready to risk my heart and be with this man who I think is my soul mate.

I would wait until your visit to discuss things like this. It's just too hard to have that type of conversation any other way than face to face.
