<human>: So I've known this girl for the past two years, we used to be very close and tease each other a lot, but we never did anything sexual. Our friendship has been kind of up and down and it appears we are growing a little distant. On top of that, I have always been sexually attracted to her and can no longer submerge these feelings in my conscious and have to let it out. I really like her but I've held on to her for so long that its inhibiting me wanting to get with another girl. Basically I plan to talk to her before I leave for winter break and let her know that I want to be more than friends. I'm extremely scared that she is not going to want to give me a shot and then I'll lose her completely. She's been a pretty major part of my life, we know almost everything about each other, but I cant just be a friend anymore. I need advice on how to confess my feelings and so I can finally get a shot at her. If it doesn't work out it will help me move on, but I really like this girl and she means a lot to me so I really don't want to lose her.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Been pretty close friends with a girl for awhile but need to either be more than friends or move on as its inhibiting me.
