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

Okay so this has been plaguing me for months.

About a year ago I was never closer with my best friend. It was one of the greatest friendships I had ever had. We both had troubles and helped each other out with them. We hung out, we talked, you know best friend shit.

Not much later things changed. Long story short she started dating an awful guy, I was disappointed and upset, she grew more and more distant, things weren't great. We both could have done more to keep things intact, yet I always felt like the only one trying.

Mr. Awful ended up cheating on her, but not before ruining my perfect friendship. I realize in hindsight that I was upset so much because I loved her. Not just a little crush on a friend, no no, I completely and utterly loved this girl. Still do. To me, she was perfect in every way but this guy would ruin my angel. Now, I'm scared she has changed too much but also worried she never wants to be my friend again. 

Today, I still think of her all the time. I'm at college and I think she's dating a new guy who seems alright. I'm realistic though, I know if anything we can't be together for a long time but I want to be best friends and then fall in love when the time is right. The longest we've gone without a word is a few months but the conversations are terse and unfulfilling. Now she's flat out ignoring me (which isn't new and is always the worst part when she does this).

I want my best friend back. I want us both to apologize. I want her back in my life because I love her. How do I do this? Reddit, what do I do?
<bot>: Had a best friend. Lost a best friend. Realized my love for said friend too late. Now I want them back.
