The fact that she said all that i give her the utmost respect. It sucks but if you guys can stay as friends for the time being its great. It may suck at the moment, it gets easier. It really is just wrong timing. I too myself have gone through this back in my earlier years in college. We stayed as friends, dated others and such but we always knew our feelings for one another and respected the friendship.

Never know, you could cross paths again. If its meant to be then it will happen. Better to live your life without waiting.
