will the love of my life ever want to be with me?

I am 7-14-65, cancer/snake/moon. He's 7-23-61, Leo/ox/Sun. We've fell in love 30 yrs ago, then didn't see him for25 yrs. He came back a few months ago, we declared our insuring love, saw him and reaffirmed it. We both realize our love is pure n only happens in fairytales he calls me his fairytale princess, but says he wants me in is life forever as friend. Will he realize I'm the one or are going to continue this deep emotional connection as friends? We are kindred spirits we are the same n we are polled oposits
