Looking for guidance on a heartfelt situation

Assalamu alaikum. I need some sincere advice. For years, I've had deep respect and admiration for a wonderful woman. We've always shared a strong mutual respect. I don't see her just as a Muslim woman, but as a woman who happens to be Muslim. Lately, I've realized how much her faith shapes her life. I'm a Christian, I believe in one God, just in a different way. But now I understand that being with her isn't possible because I'm not Muslim. It hurts. I wouldn't convert just to be accepted-that wouldn't be right for either of us. I also wouldn't want to make her compromise her beliefs. Still, knowing we can't be together is painful. Maybe I'm naive, but I treat everyone kindly, regardless of faith or background. I believe God cares about what's in your heart, not labels. I'm wondering if anyone else has been in this situation. JazakAllah khair for any thoughts.
