Love and passion comes and goes, which means you need to work on the relationship to rekindle the passion. If you don't work on it, every relationship will die out. That's the nature of emotions. They come and go, and can be unpredictable.
At the beginning of a relationship there is "new relationship energy" or NRE, also called the "honeymoon stage", where emotions are high, excitement and mystery is high. This eventually fades. Sometimes it takes 3-12 months, but it fades. Which is why you need skills to communicate on HOW to rekindle the excitement and the passion.
So, now you make a decision, will you find the skills you need to continue things with your bf? Or will you pursue the friend you currently have feelings for? Even if you go for the "friend", the feelings there will eventually fade also. You can bet on it.
