Is it normal that i am madly in love with my teacher?

Before you tell me that it is perfectly normal to have little crushes on teachers because pupils are in search of role-models, this isn't that. This is so much more than that. Even since I had first laid eyes on him, it was as if all feelings that existed for anyone else vanished, and all I could even think about was him. Since him, I can't even look at other guys because none of them are him. I lied a bit in the title, he isn't my teacher anymore (I had him in grade 10, and he doesn't teach my grade now so I no longer have him), but I still see him quite often. I'd say we're pretty close. I was lucky enough to go on a school trip to Europe, which he helped supervise, and we got even closer there. He protected me in a dangerous area, sat with me (willingly, it was even his choice), and even rubbed my back when I was exhausted. There was a lot more, but I'll be talking forever if I keep going. Anyways, I truly am madly in love with him, and even my friends believe that there could be mutual feelings. But I don't know. I know I sound ridiculously pathetic, but I really do love him, and I'd be willing to take risks for him.

Real talk, I just saw a post on this site made by a teacher talking about how in love he was with his student, and none of you have any idea how much I wish it was my teacher talking about me.
