My first love has a boyfriend, but can we be friends?

I loved her but she has a boyfriend. And I respect that. This was the first love of my 21 yrs of existence on earth. But as she's in love with somebody else I can't get romantically involved with her, but I can be her good friend for life like a well wisher. I don't expect the romantic love from her but she respects my feelings and that's so important for me. But even though that is it really ok that we still have good conversations, meet in classroom and have discussions about the movies. It won't be that big of thing know?

Since she told me I am being devastated and I am just having these intense feelings for her. But I can say that I was little like Tom from 500 days of summer with her. The hopeless romantic thinking it's the sign of universe that we are meeting and having good conversations. But I think I can be good friends with her after few time, after I move on a little.

She's hoping too that I get someone else and I respect that. Man I was in so much love. Means if it wasn't a her boyfriend it would have been mentioned😔😔

But I think that's the canon event, can't change it but I don't want my first love to be just about 16 days I want it to feel more than that. I don't want we meeting after 10 years at college reunion and having awkward conversations or worst not having conversations at all. I love being with her. And I am gonna do it with utmost respect to her and love to her. I'll always respect her boundaries never crossing it and I hope that the guy she is in relationship with is in the same level of love as me or more than that towards her.

I just want to see her happy for her entire life❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️
