Please help me make this sentence work

"Hasn't it crossed your mind that the reason I want you here might in fact be because I think I like you"

First of all, this is not my language.

Okay, I´m trying to construct this sentence, and I know you´ll say it´s unnecessary long, but I´m going for some dramatic effect, that´s why. So please don´t cut too much of it, but how would you structure it?

Thanks.

Anonymous it´s unnecessary long, but I´m going for some dramatic effect, that´s why That borders on oxymoron. Length lessens dramatic effect. Hasn't it occurred to you that I want you here because I like you?
