My friend, "Ashley", has a crush on me. I know this because she's told a friend of mine, who told me. She also told her brother, who told me too. She's not exactly subtle, either, although I'll admit I'm socially inept and probably wouldn't have figured it out without being told. She's never said it directly to my face, though. I don't want to ruin our friendship, especially if she's gotten over the crush during quarantine (she's signed "I love you" at me both times we've met up recently, but she could mean it platonically). We've been close since we were really little, like preschool age, and I regard her almost as a little sister. (She's only a month or so younger than me, but that's not the point.) I want to let her know I care about her, but I don't want her to take it the wrong way. I also don't want to mess this up. How do I let her know that I know she likes me and don't return her feelings? Please help!!

My Unsent Letter
Sometimes, I still find myself checking if you messaged me. Perhaps, I still wait for your message. Perhaps, I still long for you to call me again. Perhaps, you...
I would let her know that you aren’t in a place where you’d be able to entirely handle it. As cliche as it seems, if she did love you and she meant that, she’d know how to respect that. And while it may hurt her and it may cause some dissent between the two of you, it leaves things on neutral terms. Clearly out line that it is you who isn’t ready. Also, ask yourself why you don’t like her - and be entirely sure; you can always change your mind but it is not fair to leave her on an open page. Best of luck, and always remember, you are loved.
