Want to impulsively tell my crush I like them

Every time we talk almost or really late at night I just want to suddenly just text them and be like “hey I like you” or “hey, I have romantic feelings for you” and be super like straight up about it but I never go through with it. I don’t want to possibly make things awkward(even though I think my friend wouldn’t really care because it’s a 1 sided crush and just would move on) but I keep making up what if’s, so I don’t say anything.

Plus, there just isn’t what I see as a “good timing” ever. And our friendship is constantly evolving into a deeper friendship and I really like how we are with each other. We are just super comfortable and I don’t want to get rid of the comfortableness we have just started to create(we haven’t been friends for more than a year now).

But on the other hand I really want to tell my friend I like them.

But I’ve also never told anyone I’ve liked them before(like never confessed) and want it to maybe be more a perfect timing where everything could be in a specific time frame? Since I haven’t ever confessed before I want something special with it and don’t want to be so impulsive about it.

Ugh!!!
