Exactly. No one's going to tell you you can't try to be friends again, but trying to get "back to normal" before you're over her will only make you miss being with her more, especially if you try to spend time together in person -- she's there, yet you can't kiss her or touch her like you used to.
You two were together for a long time. It'll take a while to get over your feelings for her. Give yourself as long as you need, and don't let anybody pressure you either way. This is all about you.
