<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

Look. This girl and I have been best friends for years. She's one of the few people in this world that I can feel completely comfortable around and seems to truly accept me for who I am. She's hilarious, remarkably intelligent, and understanding all at the same time. Over the past two years or so I've been fighting this feeling, one completely different than anything I've felt before. I've dated before, I've had girlfriends, but this just seems so beyond that. I tried blowing this feeling off as stupid and meaningless, but honestly... I think that I love her. I'm so reluctant to even use that term. I'm seventeen for Christs sake, who am I to know what love even is, I've never been in love before. I care for her, and value our friendship above so much, that I wouldn't want to do anything to take that away, yet at the same time, I don't know what to do, or if I should tell her, or what.
<bot>: I think I've fallen in love with my best friend, and I really have no idea what to do about it.
