I miss feeling seen by him

It has been a while since we texted or seen each other or I thought of him. Last time I think it was on a random weekend where he just texted like hey how have you been? It was a fun surprise. I wanna say the connection I had with him was common compared to other teachers, but it really wasn’t. He made me feel seen, a different type mind you. The type that makes you want more, addictive kind, whatever, I’m just wondering if I’ll ever feel that way again. Not in a pathetic way like oh no one will ever make me feel like that again, it’s just a feeling of mentorship and admiration, yet almost attraction, that I have not had in a very long time. I kinda miss the confusion, the guessing, the anticipation. See now I have genuine admiration for my professors, there was one I thought I could share something similar but he never got around to teaching me. I miss the feeling of being discovered pretty much. Anywho gang, as a wise priest once said, it will pass.
