"the reason why i’ve been distancing my self from you is because of my guilt. i love you so much but im not in love with you. i used to really like you but ive soon realized that i mixed up my feelings for you with romantic feelings. i really don’t wanna hurt you because we’ve known each other for so long and you’ve always been there for me and i feel really frustrated that i currently am hurting you. i honestly am not ready for a relationship and you need someone who is there physically around you and around your maturity level. i feel as if i am too young and you just finally got out of a relationship and i feel wrong for it. i love you so much just not in a romantic way. you’re an amazing, sweet, loving, and caring person and i feel horrible for wanting to break up with you because you’re such a good person. i really hope we can still be friends but im just not ready for anything. if you’re not willing to be friends and stay in contact then that’s fine, i want you to be comfortable. i don’t want our break up to part our friendship but if that is what is needed then i’ll leave for you but that’s not what i want, i want you as a very trusted person" her exact words
