ESFP / Informative Is a temporary "just friends" enough?

If you were strongly attracted to someone on multiple levels but there were good reasons you couldn't be together romantically for the next couple of years, would you be comfortable pursuing an honest "just friends" relationship for the time being, because you enjoy them as a person? Would you feel the need to make your feelings known in that time even if the situation prevents acting on them, or would you be all right with keeping them under wraps and just seeing if you feel the same way once the possibility of romance opens up?
