Should I make the first move?

I burned bridges with my best friend a long long time ago. Before that happened I was starting to fall for that person. We tried to take our relationship to the next level, but it turns out I was the only who had feelings, she said that she thought that she was having those feelings to but she realized that she only wanted me as a friend. She was my first love and it took me years to get over her. I had to get away from her because I was too hurt. I've moved on and accepted the fact that it was not meant to be. Just recently I saw her but I was too afraid to make the first move. She is now in a relationship and I have no plans of getting in the way of that. And recently I'm starting to miss her again and I've realized that I miss her as a friend more than when we were going out. Should I make the first and reach out to her or should I just let it be?

IF you have managed for this long without trying to patch things up with her I don't see how doing it now would help. If she is in a relationship, you trying to patch things up could make it difficult for her. Since that is something tha tseems to be against eerything you stand for, it is best to leave things as they are.

Thanks for the reply, I think the only reason I wanted togo up and say hi is for closure. I am really not expecting anything and I guess me wanting to talk to her is more for me than for her, I just want to leave all that hurt and move on completely
