Phillipa is right, there's no need to go in great detail if you aren't ready to. Just because you had a bit of a 'wilderness' for those years doesnt mean your future has to be the same. The fact that you have this new friend surely is a positive step for you?
Maybe you could just say that you had some bad experiences a long time ago and that you took a step back to take time for yourself. But that you are pleased to have now met her and how great that feels to you. You dont have to go in to details if you dont want to. If she presses, you could maybe say that you'd rather leave that for another time, you'd prefer to focus on the future?
Best wishes
Jo
