Thank you all for your opinions.
While I find myself wishing I could just walk away from this, that really doesn't seem like an option. If it were I'd already be out the door. The thought of trying to keep this buried for as long as I know her seems like not only an impossible task, but also very wrong. Even if it stays buried, it will always be something stands in the way of us becoming closer. So, as I see it my only real choice it to tell her and let her decide where we go from there. If she can not get past it then I will be very hurt, but maybe it's karma. I have to take responsibility for my actions even though I was only a child at the time and if losing her and/or my co-worker finding out is part of my 'punishment' then so be it. So far besides the guilt and regret, I haven't really been punished for what I did. The counseling was more of a benifit than a punishment. I can't change the past, I can only hope that she is able to see me for more than my childish actions.
