Those feelings will evolve. You'll always love your therapist. But the passionate feelings will move on as your sub-conscious gets used to the idea of "off-limits".
I've always thought how hard it must be for a therapist. Regular doctors are cold and impersonal, getting straight to the point and then leaving. They distance themselves so that they can remain functional even in the depths of the worst tragedy.
Therapists do not have that luxury, they are afloat in the sea of emotions of their patients.
I'm not sure if I'm trying to make any specific point here, just makes me wonder sometimes...
