<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

Our parents were friends before we were born so our families are extremely close and we do a lot together. Which makes it very difficult to talk about it. But I've gotten to spend a lot more time with her over the past couple years and I've started falling for her. We know everything about each other yet appreciate each other for who we are and every time I'm with her I feel like it's only us two in the room. Our chemistry seems to be undeniable. So much so that most people think we actually are dating when we're out. However, she's also been off and on with this guy for several years now. We never really talk about him but I know that her friends and family are not fans of him and they rarely see each other (he's away in another state). Most of the time I forget she even has a boyfriend until someone mentions they're fighting. Yet, it's been this way for awhile now and they are still together. I feel despite our background it's so obvious we should be together now. And at times I feel like she feels it too but it's becoming harder and harder for me to see her without anything changing.

I should call it like it is right? Stop being envious of her relationship and respect this born-into friend zone. Should I just stop hanging out with her for awhile and let this pass? Or should I tell her how I feel? My worry is that if it goes wrong or I've completely misread the whole situation and it destroys our friendship and has its effects on our families. This is the same reason I haven't gone to my own family with it. And let's be honest this is not something I am going to bring up with my own friends because they wouldn't understand and would actually probably have a good laugh from it. It's giving me anxiety. I think about her a lot. I don't know who to talk to so I've turned to you strangers for your non bias options or own experiences.
<bot>: I think I'm in love with a life long family friend but she's in a weird relationship and I'm not sure I can stay just friends.
