I’m in love with my ex

My ex and I broke up about a month ago because he kept making poor decisions that were hurting me & made the adult decision that he needs space to grow as a man. He was my best friend prior to my boyfriend since I was 13. We’re almost 23 now so he’s always my best friend before my boyfriend. I’ve been praying a lot because I need God’s guidance and grace through this all because although he’s doing the right thing by needed space, it’s very hard because that is my best friend. But with this space, I’m falling more in love with him. Is that okay? 🤔 I feel guilty as if I shouldn’t because he’s the one recovering from the mistakes that he’s made in the past and I’m conversing & praying with God, asking him for his guidance through all of this, praying for both me & my ex and for God to guide my heart and now here I am, falling more in love with him. Is this natural? Is this okay? I do have faith that we’ll be back together one day if it’s in God’s will. And if not, that’s fine because I understand that he has better for me and I’m perfectly fine with that 😌👐🏾 lol but this space is only causing me to fall more in love with my ex. It’s not holding me back in the dating department, I’m not waiting for my ex or anything, I’m just noticing that this is the direction that my heart has taken. Is this okay?
