I HAVE FEELINGS FOR MY BEST FRIEND😩?!?

I’ve been friends with this guy for a while. I’ve learned many things about him that I have grown to love and he’s been there for me through my toughest times like when my dad passed. We just have the tightest bond that you can’t quite describe we just get each other. I know how he’s feelings even if he doesn’t tell me, or when he’s mad it makes me mad too😂Lately we’ve been texting more and spending more time together and I literally get butterflies when I see him. But i put my feelings on hold and kept it to myself. Recently I told my girl friend that I thought I was catching feelings for him and she totally thought we were cute and supported me. But I really don’t know how to tell him, I want it to come from a genuine place and not a weird way or someone else telling him. It’s really stressing me out because I cannot hide my emotions anymore I just wanna screaam😂but also I don’t wanna ruin our friendship ☹️and what if he rejects me and it’s always awkward from there. It was very unexpected, trust me, I didn’t want to like him but the thought of him not being in my life would drive me crazy. I want the world for him, the moon and the stars even if it’s not with me. He deserves the world, and he means the world to me. When he hugs me it feels like I’m floating. Nothing else matters. I feel at home. Although home has never been a happy place for me but he makes me feel like I have a chance on happiness. Something tells me he feels it too but you never know…Should I tell him and how do I tell him? Or just see what happens ? 😬
