Beat the Friend Zone [MF]

Long time lurker, first post so thought I would give this a try.

Laura and I had a history. Me and her were good friends, about a year ago I heard she had a crush on me and ever since then there had been a tension between us. This all ended when I had asked her out a few months ago and she said no and that they were just rumors created by our mutual friends. Devasted, we agreed to remain friends and this is how I ended up in the friend zone. Fast forward to December she leaves for Mexico and we don’t see each other for a month, however, we constantly talk and she is always on my mind but at this point, I’ve accepted my fate as the ‘friend’.
