You have to be honest with her and tell her that you mistaken compassionate love for romantic love. Say you are very emotionally attached to her, and was very confused how you really felt and you are appologizing for misleading her starting this relationship with her and that you would like very much to just continue as friends, because you have always valued your friendship.

She might be hurt at first and might need time away from you to heal, but I'm sure she will miss you and come back to a friendship. You do not want to delay telling her.....a week is very short time and I feel it is fair that you gave it a shot but it's not for you.

You sound young and are still sorting out feelings and your sexuality, so I hope she can understand that you are going through some changes you are still confused about.

No offense, but you were only together a week. I wouldn't call that love anyway, it's more like infatuation or a crush. Especially if you are still trying to sort out your sexuality. If you want to preserve your friendship with her, let her know. You could say something like, "I'm sorry, I don't feel the same way anymore. I'm just trying to sort out my feelings and sexuality right now. I really cherish your friendship though, and I'd really like it if we could stay friends after this." It may not work, depending on her feelings, but it's a better chance than ending things on a sour note.
