Sick (both literally and figuratively)

How do you tell someone that you no longer (platonically) love them the way you used to?

That when you've been friends with that someone for about three years and you feel like everything has gone stale and suffocating. That when you leave her and choose to spend time with someone else, it feels like a breath of fresh air, like a window of a stifled room that has just been opened. That everything that has connected you two together is now everything that is pushing you away. That familiarity breeds contempt. That every vine that has tied you guys together has now rotted away, leaving nothing but distance between the two of you. 

That when you guys talk, it's really just you trying to steer the conversation somewhere and getting lost. That her curt and blunt replies only cage you in further and you secretly wish to break free. That you no longer share the same interests and common topics with her. That you know her too well until there is nothing left to say other than meaningless small talk. That when she cries, you really wish it wasn't you she trusted so much. That when she leaves, you feel both guilt and relief pounding on your heart's door, because you think she doesn't deserve someone as trashy as you, that she deserves better. That she is a good person and she shouldn't stick around someone as terrible as you are.

That you still like her but not in the way you used to. That growing up has made you grow apart and that things have changed but you don't know how. That you still want to be friends and you want to salvage whatever is left at the end of this.

How do you tell someone that you think everything is falling apart at the seams and fading away?

I maybe don't have many experience in relationship but in my opinion, the basic rule in relationship is honesty. I think you should be honest with your partner. Talk to her. Then maybe both of you will have solution to this relationship. If you don't have any way to save the relationship maybe the best is to let go. The longer you stay in this kind of relationship both of you will hurt more.
I hope for the best for both of you.

I'm probably a little bit older than you, so I'll offer you my old granny wisdom. Honestly, the longer you stay in a stale relationship, whether platonic or romantic, the more you'll just be poisoning your life with misery. Be honest with this significant other of yours. Talk it out, tell her you don't like where you're at anymore. Even if you are scared of hurting her, you'll be saving both of you in the long run. People grow and change all the time, especially if you're young. I know it's sad, but it's okay to let someone go. Just remember how much they have positively shaped your life instead.

There is no need to say anything my friends.. Sometimes there is no word can describe our feelings.. Just act up what you feels right.. And be the better you..

If she trusts you.. You are really have a special meaning in her life.. If right now everything is so messed up.. Take a deep breath and let it go.. You can always start over again.. :)

I hope that help..
