As long as it isn't illegal, go for it. They're going away. If you're reading it wrong, no worries, they'll soon be gone as will your hearthurt. And if it turns out to be the thing that was meant to be, you'll find a way to keep it and you'll have great memories. But if you don't try, all you will have in the future is thoughts of "should I have?" to torture yourself with.
