My [24M] ex-girlfriend [24F] wants to be friends but I don't feel the same way

My girlfriend and I broke up about a month ago. We were together for just under 10 months and lived together for 5. The relationship was the best it had ever been, until it ended. She was the love of my life and I finally felt like I was in a relationship that was good for me and made me happy. In the weeks leading up to the break-up, we experienced a lot of police and ambulance presence in the area. There was a murder and one morning the neighbour accidentally locked a knife in our communal hallway and we had to call the police to get it. She had never been a fan of the area but didn't mind staying there. After these incidents, she said how she wanted to move out of the area after her work contract ends in a couple of months. I just assumed that meant we'd be moving together but she said how she didn't want to and that she just doesn't want to live in this area anymore. We got into an argument about this and I suggested a trial separation but she said she wanted to break up. I moved in with a friend 2 days later and am still living there. <br><br>I was severely depressed when she left me and she was the one who suggested I get therapy. I've been going for 3 weeks now and I'm slowly feeling better. She messaged me a couple of days ago saying how it's been on her mind and she would like to be friends. She said we had a lot of good times together and she valued those moments but isn't in love with me and doesn't want to be in a relationship. I said how I'm not ready to be friends yet and need time. One of my friends said how I shouldn't completely rule it out as I may feel differently in a year's time. I feel like I don't want to be friends as she broke my heart in a cruel manner. I feel like the same thing could happen if I let her back into my life and she decides she isn't interested in being friends anymore. I feel like I've made the right decision but would like some confirmation from some neutral parties.<br><br>EDIT: I am going to wait a year and reconsider. Thank you all for the advice so far.
