Is it empathy?

I usually only have to see her at work for a little bit so it's not too big of a deal, but she's staying longer tonight. Today it feels like I am a drug addict in need of a fix.
I'm not sure if it's my empathy showing, but I can tell she's upset. She walked by my work area. Usually she avoids me. I caught her eye. She didn't seem like she was doing good.
I was feeling the need of her really bad and then I saw her. I wonder if I can really sense her emotions.
All I want to do is see a text message from her pop up on my phone and cuddle.
I really hope I get this new job so I don't have to see her like this.

Yeah, but I was having a strong feeling before I even saw her. That's also why I am wondering if it's empathy. And then I saw her and it made things worse. I feel better now.
