This may not apply to you, but I have found that a lot of the time after a long break in between relationships, people are more enamorated with the relationship itself then the person they are in the relationship with. It is great to experience those feelings again after being without them for so long. After such a short amount of time knowing this girl, I would think it is unlikely that you really know this girl well enough to really love her, although when it comes to love stranger things have happened. As tough as it is, I think the best thing to do is to forget about a relationship with her. At this point, that will probably mean a clean break, since it is hard to remain friends with someone you still have feelings with. Maybe in the future, a frienship will be a viable option, but at this point it seems some time away from her would be best (again, just my .02).
My advice would be to take what you've learned from this experience and apply it to the future. The next time you have the opportunity to start up a conversation, do it, don't just sit there thinking you should. Keep the communication lines open and flowing from the beginning. We've all made mistakes and fucked up some relationships. The key is to get back out and give it another shot. Don't get down on yourself and let another ten years go by.
