Should I confess my feelings in a goodbye letter before my crush moves away?

I need some honest advice. I have a huge crush on a guy I've known for a few months through work. We don't work directly together, but we see each other often.

He’s moving back to his home country at the end of the month. We’ve never had a proper 1-on-1 date because I am extremely shy—I literally freeze and go quiet around him, though I can text him easily. He knows I'm shy.

Over the months, we've built a slow-burn connection. He’s always been physically affectionate (kissing my forehead, hugging me, noticing when I disappear from events to check on me). He calls me 'sweetheart' and 'special'. Recently, he sent me a message saying he’s leaving, but he really hopes we stay in touch and cross paths again in the future. He sent hearts and a kiss emoji.

I have a goodbye gift for him before he leaves, but I’m tempted to put a letter inside describing my true feelings, or ask him directly how he feels about me. I'm scared I'll regret it if I don't say anything, but I also don't want to pressure him right before he moves. What is the best way to handle this without getting hurt?

I also want to ask if I should because he did say he wants to come back and hope we cross paths again. But I fear I will also add on pressure because he is going home due to family reasons. 🥺😷
