Old friendship renewed

I recently got reacquainted with an girl that I grew up with. We have been in and out of each others lives pretty much all our lives. There was a point in time were I thought that I would never date her. My ind has changed. Her attitude, and demeanor towards life has totally changed absolutely for the better. She recently broke up with a boyfriend, and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. We have been hanging out almost everyday for the past couple weeks. To me, it felt like it was going to go somewhere, however knowing myself, I took a step back and analyzed the situation. I can say without a doubt that I have feelings for this girl, however I wasn't entirely sure how she felt. It was eating me up. We were chilling with some friends this evening, so I didn't get an opportunity to talk to her in person about how I was feeling. She ended up going home early, and texted me when she got home. I finally just but the bullet and texted her asking if she had some time to talk on the phone. She called me a few minutes later. True to my honesty, I told her that I had feelings for her, and wanted to make sure that it was out there and known. Now, I had a feeling she wasn't going to reciprocate the feelings. She goes to explain how shes currently feeling. (job changes, going back for her masters, the very recent end of a serious relationship) I tell her that I just needed to get it out there as it was causing me anxiety just holding it in. I honestly understand that she what she needs right now are good friends, and awesome people to hangout with. I told her that I can be that friend, and when she's ready, I would like it to be more.

After typing this all out, it doesn't make much sense. Oh well. I feel a million times better after talking about it with her, and offering her the support she obviously needs.

I hope it works out.
