<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

We met in high school and had been dating for 5 years.  I'm black and she's Jewish so there were bound to be problems. From the start,  I've done my best to be a good boyfriend but I believe she was a bit uncomfortable with her parents not knowing the complete picture of what went on in her life (daily phone between her parents and her). We'd been dating for 4 years and 5 months when she decided for the second time to tell her parents about me, the first time was not pleasant, there was name calling and arguments,  I tried to meet with them to assuage any fears that they might have had but my words meant nothing. They demanded that we break up and for 6 months we did. I'd started to get over her when she called me up and asked if we could we get back together,  we did with the understanding that would again separate once we graduated college. It's been three months since then and I'm not  I'm even close to being over her. I think deep down I'm holding out the hope for that second phone call where we get back together. We were supposed to cut ties but it's ended up being a weird pseudo relationship where she occasionally calls to inform me of a major change in her life or if any significant change occurred i would be there first to know.  I think i need time Away from her to just think of her as only a friend, I'm not sure how To ask for this time as her birthday is coming up and she's been down recently.  Before we dated age was my best friend and confidant and I want that back some day. 

I apologize if anything doesn't make sense I'm typing this drunk on my way home.
<bot>: need to know what to do about my not girlfriend now. I want space but want her back at the same time. At the very least I'd like my best friend back one day.
