Input: Ok - long story short: in October, I made a friend at work with whom I became infatuated. She is married and there is no possibility of anything happening between us, but that didn't stop me from swooning over her every text message. I did not tell her about these feelings or make any kind of advance since I had no real expectation of being with her, so for the past few months we've been  talking regularly and hanging out on occasion as friends. No big deal.

Cut to 2 weeks ago. I had finally come to terms with the fact that this has become a very unhealthy situation for me, and I probably need some time and space from it. I wanted to tell her this in person, but I did not have the courage to look her in the eye and  a) confess my feelings, and b) tell her I need to back away for a bit. So I sent her a text explaining that I'd caught feelings, it had become unhealthy, and I thought she deserved a friend who was in it for the right reasons. So I'd need to back away for a bit. She was gracious, if cold, in her reply: she said she'd had no idea about my feelings, that she hopes she didn't do anything to make them worse, and that she respects my decision.

We haven't spoken much at all since then, and I have gone well out of my way to avoid her at work because I do NOT want to make her feel creeped on or uncomfortable. Any contact we have had has been muted and pretty cold from her end. But, in the time since I sent her the feelings text, I've realized that the way I wrote it likely implied that I only ever became friends with her because I want her. SO, I've spent the day drafting a letter explaining carefully that our friendship - the ACTUAL friendship we'd built over the past months - was not part of some long-term agenda to be with her, and that my feelings are incidental to the friendship. I can't stand her thinking that our whole friendship was a lie, and I've already told her that my hope is for us to be close again someday.

AITA or WIBTA for reaching out to make her to understand that I didn't have bad intentions? Have I forfeited my right to try and explain myself to my friend?
