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

So prior to this Summer, this girl, we will call her Natalie, has been one of my closest platonic friends. Someone I could always go to for advice, or to feel better, as she would to me. This all changed this Summer. After not really speaking to one another for the first month or so after school ended because we were both busy we finally did stuff together and found out we had feelings for each other. Yes, it kind of just happened. 

And then the issue was, "Wow I've known you for so long as a friend, this is kind of weird, would we be able to kiss and it be OK?" 

And that issue resolved it'self because we both maintained the same feelings after kissing but now we have grown so attached that we do not want what we have to end (we do not consider it a relationship) but we are scared moving forward to being something more because of the simple fact that we are both terrified of something not working out and we wouldn't be able to go back to how it used to be and we would only end up losing someone that has been so valuable in our life. Just thinking of all of the "what if's" makes us both very scared.

For the moment we decided it is in our best interest to just continue with whatever "thing" we have but I know we are just kicking the rock down the road and eventually we are going to have to decide.
<bot>: Long time friend and I develop feelings for one another, everything is good, but we are scared of considering ourselves in a relationship because the possibility of losing one another is too much for us.
