I love my teacher...?

I understand where you're coming from. I love a couple of my teachers (not a crush) just like you. Teachers are there to help you with all sorts of problems. He was put into your life for a reason. I know I'm glad I have my two favorite teachers, but I'm graduating. I've already cried about it. There's nothing wrong with loving a person just b/c of their career. If you love him, maybe you could show him by doing things to help him b/c, admittedly, if you say it, it may be taken the wrong way. Don't distance yourself, maybe you could stay in touch. It's good to have someone to go to with problems
