This has been eating at me for a while.. Just a little advice may help. I am 22 years old.
History is this --
Best friend, met at age 13. Boyfriends in between, but he yearned for me always.
Age 16, I give in, me and best friend become a couple. Very much in love, a spiritual connection like none other.
Age 17, I move and long distance is hard. Bad break up.
Age 17-21 Stuggle with my lost love, we become best friends again, but I always harbor these feelings.
