“pursue feelings or maintain friendship”

I've developed romantic feelings for a close friend, but we have different goals and live in different places

What I wish I knew
"if I should express my feelings or risk losing our friendship"
If I could tell you one thing
"be honest with yourself and the other person about your intentions"
