Aww, a cute mini-moon is orbiting Earth right now. But like all good things, it too will abandon us at some point

It doesn't have a stable, circular orbit.

It's going to do a few loops around our planet, then its expected path will take it too far out of Earths gravity well.

Important to note that the Earths gravity isn't the only one in play.
