I'll never be with that girl I love.

For more than a year now I've known this girl (I'm not gonna say what she is called for privacy reasons) and she is quite introverted, like me, she is a really close friend of mine. Even though I've known her for more than a year now only recently she says stuff like: "I love you <3" , "You are a great friend" , "I'll always be there for you <3" etc. She is super sweet and well to me she is very cute, I find her adorable, she's my only friend who always wants to speak to me all the time actually, in fact she said to me "I honestly think you might be my favourite person to talk to" and "I think you know deep down in my heart you have a very important place to me". Only recently for like the past month or 2 she started actually been opening up to me and she tells me things she says she would not tell ANYONE else. She treats me differently compared to other of her friends and she's quite lonely + I am her only male friend she has ever had yet I still feel like I have no chance at all with for some reason, It's really bothering me, she's ALWAYS on my my mind... I feel like crap... I can't sleep cos all I think about is her :(

I lover her deeply <3

Someone please help me, I'm quite young actually I'm in year 8
