<human>: I met this amazing girl on vacation last year and she ended up living fairly close to me. We hit it off instantly and started dating when we returned home. She told me on our 2nd date that her and her best friend were planning a backpacking trip across Europe in 6 months and that she didn't want a boyfriend. We still dated exclusively for the next 6 months and ended up getting very attached to each other.

 I knew there was an end date in sight and so did she but we liked each other too much to end it sooner. On Jan. 1 of this year she left for Europe and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I miss her so much and even told her that I loved her and she told me she had very strong feelings for me but given the situation couldn't commit to anything. We haven't really talked much while she's been gone because she said it felt cruel to keep in touch with me while she couldn't promise a commitment. 

We've texted and emailed a few times but nothing super regular. I've also always been the one to initiate the conversation. I think she feels guilty because we had such an amazing thing and it ended only because she was going on this trip. Anyways, she returns home this month and I'm eager to see her. She promised before she left that we would meetup again. I just don't know what to do. Should I wait to see if she proposes we see each other again? Should I ask her to hangout? Any advice would help.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Dated for 6 months, amazing relationship/connection. She left for Europe for 6 months and is returning soon. Wondering how to go about reconnecting.
