Should I just forget about her?

[Student23]

There's this woman I have known for quite a while, ever since I first met her I immediately liked her. In fact over the subsequent months I felt my feelings growing deeper and deeper. She's the perfect woman - educated, caring, honest, attractive and friendly but naturally there's a snag- she's married. However, I carried on having feelings for her and we became fairly good friends.
When I had to leave home to go to university, the fact that I would hardly ever see her again obviously hurt alot. I've been playing around with the idea that I might be in love with her, all I think about is her and when I will see her again.
In the mean time however, I've been wondering whether I should keep in touch with her through e-mails, purely as a friendly action. The thing is, she might find it a bit strange since, although we were friendly/friends back home, there's a considerable age difference and she is originally a friend of my mother. Would it be OK to keep in contact with her, or will she see through it and finally discover my true feelings? I know that I should let her go, but I still want to be friends.
Anyone else been in a similar situation?

Sure you can still talk to her, but don't go overboard with the feelings stuff. She's married, and proably quite happyily I'd say. Tread carefully my son...

A more sensible thing to do would be to use this as an opportunity to let her go, seeing as you won't see much of her anymore.
