I have really strong feelings for a close friend and idk what to do

@pinkWatermelon3893 We're on a break, or i'm delusional. Either way it's better for me to find someone else that feels the same towards me as i do them. (She requested that we separate for a little bit) The relationship thing didn't work out and i think we're just taking the time away from eachother so we can start fresh as friends again later down the road. We haven't talked in 6 months because the ending was a little rocky, but i know she's busy with life right now and i don't want to bother her. I think it might be best for her to return on her own than for me to try and bring her back, but i'm not sure. We were close friends in our teens that reunited a couple of years ago and we thought we could make things work. (maybe 7 years of contact/16 years of knowing eachother) I think some of what pulled us apart was the amount of burdens/trauma she carries around with her now than when we were younger. I thought i could be the answer to all her problems, but in the end i wasn't enough. She admitted she had a crush on me back then but i was too afraid to say anything. I wish i would of spoke up, maybe things would of been different. I still think of her as my best friend and I'll always accept her back into my life. Right now i'm just trying to move on, with or without her i need to live my life. Forgive and forget.
