Becoming friends with your twin?

Have any of you become Platonic friends with a twin after having been romantic for a time already? Were you able to lose the romantic feelings and want for more, or was it still present and painful?

I'm most likely going to have to end the relationship with my twin. We got into a poly relationship (they had someone else) when we met and now I've realized that isn't going to work for me anymore, along with their more distant and emotionally unavailable tendencies. A lot of realizations have been brought out through this and I need to focus on self love and choosing myself for a while.

But we are in university and I'm going to see them constantly this final semester, we're even in the same class. I also just miss them and their mind and thoughts and our shared connection so much...part of me would like to be connected still. I miss before it got complictaed with the relationship and i got more attatched. I don't think I could handle acting like a stranger amd cold and distant with someone who I love so deeply still. It would break me. But maybe friendship would be painful too--growing closer but not able to be more. Remembering how close we were just a month ago, the intimacy, etc.

I don't know. I'm torn. I'm going to see them when classes start soon and I'm scared. Scared that it will reignite all my feelings, that I won't be able to end it, that they will end it first or not care about me at all....so many fears. Any advice?? Anyone successfully become friends with their twin? Or had to see them in person after separating?
