What is this that i’m feeling for her?

So I made friends with a coworker. Both work at a hospital. Both techs. We are busy most of the time but come Friday and mainly Saturday we are very slow. She is sometimes scheduled alone for hours during those days so we take the opportunity to hang out.

She always initiates contact at work. Good mornings every time through text and tends to tell me she wants me to go visit her to hang out. This last Saturday we were conversing and she got paged to go do something. She got up quick and left but as she did I said I should head back to my department and she groaned and said nooo playfully. So I stayed back at her office and she came back a little bit after and said she had ran back to make sure she caught me…which was adorable cause she looked out of breath lol

We know so much about each other. I tend to give more compliments, not inappropriate ones but nice ones. She has given some as well but not as much and usually after I’ve done something nice…recently, driving into work she ended up spilling her coffee, so I got her one with some bread I had gotten night before I remembered she said she liked as a kid… she called me a dream after that. Stuff like that…but there days when all we do is sit next to each other listening to low music as she studies and I read.

Point being…with all that, I feel so much for her. It’s not just a crush and I wish I was her boyfriend. It’s more than that. Yes, I can see so much in her i’d love as a partner. But I also just appreciate her. I care deeply about her and her well being. I’m happy knowing she’s happy. Her smile can heal anything in my heart.

Looking at her, i feel it. Like she’s meant to be in my life. It’s a feeling i’ve never felt in my life.
