Short Term Happiness but Long Term Pain?

So something quite big has happened in my life recently which has the potential to make me incredibly happy now but very sad in the future. The question I have to keep asking myself if whether this happiness is worth the pain that will follow.

So I've met a boy, which is a shocking fact in itself, and a boy who likes me and I like him. But in about 26 days he's leaving for 2 and a half months, and I only met him like two weeks ago. I just don't know whether I'll just be hurting myself if I continue things on further with him when I know that at some point he's going to be gone. I just don't understand why the universe has placed him in my life now when he's just going to be snatched from my grasp.

I guess this has made me question how I make my decisions. Should I just live in the moment more and work out logistics later on? I'm always the type of person to plan ahead, and I guess what's scary about this is I have no idea what will happen in the future. Spontaneous. That's what I need to be.
