Last summer I confessed my feelings to my best female friend of 5 years. The problem - she was in love with a guy from overseas who she had met during her study abroad semester. She said they were pretty serious and they planned to marry once she acquired citizenship of US (which would take a few years). The last thing I remember her saying was her asking me where I was before in her life. She said she also had feelings for me but it was too late and that she was too emotionally attached to this guy.

Anyways, I decided it was time for me to leave, to take a break. I broke all contact with her and started self-improvement, picked up new hobbies, got busy with my career etc. I thought I was over her until today when she sends me this text - "I was passing by [some place] and it reminded me of you. I hope you are well and I miss you. How long are we not going to talk to each other?" When I read it I feel like I thought about it for a little too long and now I am not sure how to approach this. If she is still with her boyfriend from overseas I definitely do not want to bring her back in my life. But if she is not, then there is still a part of me that wants to pursue a romantic relationship with her. I don't really know how to approach this and how to reply to the text.
