<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

So I've had this friend for almost 10 years who we'll refer to as Mary for the purposes of this post.

Mary and I were thick as thieves for a few years after we met. We would text all day every day, and I'm talking hundreds of texts a day. We'd talk about everything - funny/embarrassing stories, loads of flirting and teasing, but we'd also confide in each other, comfort each other. It was as if it was just the two of us against the world! 

Our friends used to ask when we were going to bang/get married and our families even used to ask if we were together all the time. My girlfriends would get jealous of Mary and Mary's boyfriends would get jealous of me. Of course our response was always "we're just good friends.", (a line that is almost never true).

This went on for about a year and a half maybe two years, yet nothing ever happened between us despite me knowing that I wanted this girl. Eventually we both entered into relationships and we stopped keeping in constant contact.

Fast forward a few years to about 5 months ago when my 4 year relationship came to an end. Mary messages me to see if I'm okay. I explained the situation and we got chatting again. Almost immediately, we are back exactly where we left off. We started talking about the days when we were so close, I told her how I had a huge crush on her back then and she told me all about how her ex used to look through her messages when she was sleeping and how she dumped him because he kept asking about me.

So now we're back to texting all day, every day. One day there were 400 messages back and forth. It's as if we'd never stopped talking. The only problem is, she moved overseas last year and won't be coming back until at least summer.

Something in me tells me that Mary is the right girl for me. She's amazing. She's intelligent, attractive, like minded, she's always there for me, and she's always right! I just don't know if she is interested in me in that way, and I'm worried I'll scare her off if I tell her how I feel.
<bot>: Old friend back on scene, however living overseas for next six months. Don't know whether to make a move now, wait until she's home, or just ride it out and keep the friendship
