Respect your feeling. The thing about feeling is that you can't really stop them by any force. One option is to stay as far away as possible, but that isn't an option you'd prefer. I'd suggest just accept them for what they are. Do whatever you feel appropriate to maintain a strong friendship. The possibilities are: your feeling will go away on its own given enough time; it can turn out that you will love him even more, or he might eventually have feelings for you also. I'd rather wait and see than struggling to remove those precious feelings.
