She's still my closest friend.
We enjoy each other's company deeply.
I was hoping someone had another idea from that.

If I am correct, I would suggest you lessen the frequency with which you interact with the individual and if this proves ineffective, step away completely for a period of time until you can actually interact with the individual void of romantic feelings. Equally important, should the latter be required, respectfully inform you friend that you have decided this in the best interest of the both of you and that you value the friendship, still embrace it and will return when you are in an emotional state where you can completely engage in it in a purely platonic mind set.I hope this help.God Bless~
