You just have to be honest with her. Tell her that you don't feel the same as you used to.
She will cry and ask what she did wrong and you are going to hurt her. But you have to just be honest, and tell her you love her more as a sister and friend now than a girlfriend.
These things happen in life and breaking up is something you have to do.
Give her space to get over you after you do it. Don't try and be her friend straight away.
Also do NOT tell her after you have broken up that you miss her or still love her or anything. She will only think she has a chance of getting back with you.
Good Luck!! xx
