I Am In Love With A Girl From An Undeveloped Country Who Barely Speaks English

A while back, I went on a trip to an undeveloped country with an organization I am associated with (I will not name the organization, country of destination or even the time I went because it is very specific and would likely disclose my identity). Before I actually went, I thought that it was just going to be a trip where I go through the typical visit-another-county experience filled with cultural tours and all that jazz. We  did  end up doing that, making incredible memories and lifelong friends in the process. But I was not prepared for what was about to come.

At one point on the trip, we are with a group of people, men and women, native to the country for an extended amount of time. Being from the US, we were treated very well and with high regards. Some of the women in the group took a liking to some of the men in ours. It was at this point I met a native women, whom I will call Sara, who I was attracted to and was clearly into me as well. However, I was not attracted to her in a purely sexual, hookup kind of way as I am with many women in the Americas. This was something different; something much more deep and meaningful. For the first time in my life, I felt actual romantic love despite the fact that we barely speak the same language and just saw each other. I know I sound like a desperate creep, but it's the truth.

A couple of hours later, Sara added me on social media and we talked for the remainder of the trip. Every night, I would light up when a notification from her came. Upon the day of leaving back to the US, I receive a message from her "Don't forget me okay ;)". To this day, we still talk to each other over social media and I want to see her again. I have only told a couple of people and I have been holding this in for quite a while.
