<human>: I met my best friend in my junior year of high school and we instantly clicked; had a lot of similar interests and it felt like we'd known each other forever. I spent the night at her house once, but most of our friendship was inside of school and occasional going out to movies and stuff.

Anyway, on my birthday that year, she gave me a book and a card in the morning. I didn't open it until I had left for class, and it basically said, "I like you. Yes, in *that* way. Don't worry, I don't expect it to be returned." At the time, I was having problems with another girl, and I wasn't sure what to say or how to respond. So I didn't--I just acted like it never happened. We continued to be best friends and we still are to this day. It was never brought up again.

Last year, I moved to California. We still kept in contact through twitter/facebook, and I went to visit in October. I didn't end up seeing her until the day before I left, but...I just felt so...in love with her, I guess. I never realised how much I liked her until that day. I gave her a long, tight hug goodbye, and cried on the plane ride home.

She's all I can think about now. I'm going back to visit in June because of my brother's wedding, but in all reality, I'm only excited to see her. I want to tell her my feelings, but I feel like such a shitty person because she confided in me years ago, and I just ignored her. Not to mention that years go by and feelings change. I feel trapped because I have no one to turn to for this and I have no idea what to do.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Friend once said she liked me, didn't acknowledge her feelings. A few years later, I'm returning those feelings but I'm afraid to confess because of her not feeling the same anymore.
