That's fine, you don't want to react to her or get any expectations if thats what shes doing. Even if she is coming closer and opening up some, even if she does something that makes you realize she still cares about you, or even loves you, doesn't mean she wants a relationship with you. Anyone in a relationship with someone else for years is going to have a connection to them, they are still going to care about that person. They are out for what will make them happy, so the above things don't mean that much.
Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be
