Hey songwriter,
Thanks for checking out my stories.
There's nothing wrong with being attracted to someone -- you can be honest with your feelings. Though obviously what you DO out of your feelings is another matter, especially in her company. But if she is open to being your friend, why not? It's one thing if she's married, but if it's a boyfriend -- they tend to come and go, you know.
Don't lose hope! You can find the right person to you, when you are ready. If it can happen to me, it can certainly happen to you. Here's one more post that may be relevant -- it's about how we think we know what's going to happen, though we really don't:
Our Best Version | The Formula Fails
I did marry my first girlfriend, and for a while I wondered what it's like to be with someone else. But really, I grew to be really grateful that I didn't go through the turmoils of any romantic relationships ending. The ones didn't work for me crashed and burned all at the beginning, when the pain was probably the least.
Look on the bright side, and work on getting yourself ready for her, whenever she shows up.

PS of course we think alike -- we're both musicians!
