I have known my best friend for 7 years now- we went to the same school- and in our second year of friendship I realized that I am completely in love with him.
I thought that it would blow over, since he dated other girls (who looked and acted different from me). But alas, it never did. There were times that I felt something from his side, but maybe that was only my mind tricking me because I wanted to believe that he felt the same way about me.
Believe me, it is maybe one of the toughest things in life to be a friend to someone that you actually love. To help him sort out his girlfriend problems, when your head is screaming: Pick me, pick me!!
I know he cares for me, but in what way I dont know... We live in different towns now. I hoped that would help, but everytime I think about him I still feel weak inside, and when I realize how daft I am -for hoping and wishing- I can feel my heart tearing apart.
So you help me. I always thought of myself as a sensible young woman, so why do I still feel this way about someone that will probably never love me back? Why did I throw away potential relationships, just because they weren't like him?
I mean really now, 6 YEARS!!!

If you truly love someone it never goes away. You just learn to deal with it and to love others.
In your case, I think you should really talk to him about how you feel. Until you do you will not know how he might feel. You have hid it from him, who knows what he really feels?
Yes, you may not be friends anymore. But, that would be good for you either way. If you because more than friends you would be together. If he rejects you, it might put your feelings in place and let you to move on.
