<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

My friend [28 F] and I [33 M] started hooking up earlier this year after being casual friends for 5 years. We'd been having a blast and got much closer as the summer went on, though I think we were both being careful not to be too committed at first. 

We eventually started referring to is as a relationship, meeting each other's families, etc. all while blurring the line between a deepening friendship and intimacy. Two months ago, she suddenly decided we need to put the brakes on the relationship and insisted we go back to being friends for now. She thought we were both in ruts in our personal lives and needed to take a break from the relationship, but remain close friends while we work our shit out. After that, "we'll see how it goes," she said.

I took it pretty hard, as she's really bad at communicating emotions. It took me the last two months to even understand from her as much as I've just explained. So now I'm pretty wrapped up in it and experiencing more heartache than I thought I would from what was a pretty casual relationship with a friend. I know we both truly care about each other as people. I might see us being just friends again someday, but I feel too strongly for now. She /might/ see us being in a relationship again someday, but just wants friendship for now. Should we take space or try to remain close till we get on the same page?
<bot>: My friend and I started a relationship. She now wants friendship-only but might want a relationship again later, I want a relationship now but might be okay with just-friendship again later. What should we do?
