I liked this girl

I had been friends with this girl since we were little. Our families knew each other pretty well. I had started to developed a crush on her around 2 years ago. We were best friends, hung out all the time. While I liked her she had known and also had multiple different boyfriends. I still love her, just would never pursue a relationship with her now. Was it normal for me to want to be with the same girl for 2 years?
