I have ten days of leave starting next week. I'm not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand I really, really miss her - but at the same time, if we get involved again and it ends poorly it would destroy me. I was barely moving on as-is.
Should I go through with this?

I don't know, OP. It sounds like nostalgia for what used to be may be clouding your judgement.
I mean 3-4 years is a long time to be apart. You are likely very different people now even if you can't relay that via text message.

I read this sentence and then the last sentence.
Nothing that happens in high school matters. You are both children and children don't know the first thing about maintaining committed, meaningful relationships.
Move on. Stop hanging on to some bullshit you did when you were a kid and start growing up. Stop revisiting the stupid decisions you made over and over again and start making better ones.

Take those 10 days and go anywhere but near her. Move the fuck on man. Jesus christ.

It's worth a shot at least, for both of you. It sounds to me like neither you nor her have many other options, and you're already on fairly solid ground since you were very intimate and the relationship didn't end badly (so no serious compatibility problems).
She wants you and you want her. At least try.
You don't want that regret eating at you for the rest of your life.

What >>16917407 said.
Dude go to her.
1- Try it. Maybe this time could work. Talk with her, give it a shot.
2- For what I understood, you already told her you would go, and not doing that would destroy both her and you. In the worst possibility, better to go, talk with her and decide to not go with it than destroying your friendship like that. You would regret it for sure.
