Wistful Thinking?

Like I have said before, there's this good guy friend of mine, who I once had a thing with, who I still have feelings for, even though we have both moved on. He's a poet, he's an artist, and sometimes he shows me his poems. And they make me wonder, especially the ones that are a bit older. Are they about me? Or am I just thinking wishfully? Does this happen to other people? That their subconscious is just telling them to think about something other than the way that it is supposed to be.
