There is this girl, whose very essence tugs on my heart strings. Help?

Okay, it is hard for me to give out emotion, so bear with me and my babbling please. She's just so amazing. I mean, she is beautiful beyond all reason, but, her mind, her soul, are just so, so much more. She is the only one I see eye to eye to. She gets black humor, and realizes that dark things are not evil. She loves the craft of the blade, and is so kind and helpful. She makes great friends with everyone, and... Well, I could go on forever. I'd have to ask this about 15 times with the question size limit. But, we are still in the friend state. I asked her out, and she said she was interested, but has a lot going on, and can't do anything until classes end. And the suspense, wanting to be by her, and just knowing that she is out there, and I'm not by her side, or even being sure if she feels the same way back, is tearing me apart. So far, we've eaten together, like sharing breakfast, and set up times to fence and stuff, but... I just feel we are to distant, when I want to be more than friends. When she is around, I can't help but be as happy as is humanly possible, and it stays for a while to come, but I'm so nervous too. If my body was as torn up as my mind, the Saw guys would be jealous. Please help.... Like, advice, what I should do, etc. I'm falling apart here.
