More than friendship

Hi, My best friend for the last 7 seven years is a girl called Laura, she has been by my side through everything and we really were bestest friends. i dont really have any other girl friends and she is the only girl that i've ever liked. she has been in a couple of relationships while weve been friends but i have been single the whole time. over the last year we have become incredibly close and she told me she liked me more than a friend, but me being me stupid said no we are just friends, i have a real problem showing emotion and saying how i feel. Laura has continued to like me in that way despite me being so nasty to her to push her away to stop me having feelings and cus i was so scared of losing the firnedship if i allowed myself to feel like this. we have said that we are soul mates and will end up together but now over the past month she has started liking another guy and my feelings have become stronger and stronger to the point i cant control them anymore. i have fallen completely and utterly in love with her and i dont know what to do??? she is under a lot of stress at the minute with work and exams so have tried to give her her space and not smother her but its not working. i have told her everything i feel but she is being so distant and cold and different towards me. i just dont know how she feels, she has said she dont believe me as i have said no for the last year and thinks i will change my mind how i feel in a few weeks but i wont. i have never been so sure of how i feel before and all i want is to be with her. this is so difficult as she is my best friend and i need someone to talk to this about but cant. i cant cope with this feeling and feel really depressed and cant see me getting through this. i just cant picture my life without her, she is my rock and the only time i feel happy and alive is with her. when we are together everything feels so good and i cant bare not having that feeling again, it is affecting my work and friends and family as i am so down and cant snap out of it. i really need to know if she still feels something for me or if i am too late, but i dont want to smother her constantly and push her away...

she is confused by now...she ll pause on the guy...it has ruined your intimacy....she ll thnk it over....chillax dude, give her the space she needs and dont smothen her....space wll wrk on her lyk magic......d bst all!!!!!!!
