Communication Breakdown.
Hi.
I'll be brief.
I was quite good friends with this person, our friendship was improving and probably still would be for the normal reasons really, and then I suddenly feel for them. I saw them one day and I experienced that sensation that you feel when you dive into freezing cold water, when the breath is taken out of you, and it made me stop and think, stop and start actually feeling and reading what was inside me, and it came out with love.
So, I started not talking to them at all, just making good conversation when they spoke to me. Then the feelings got worse, i started feeling just generally worse, and they started not really starting conversation anymore, with just a few scattered remarks here and there, a few last tries and talking to this silent, awkward wierdo that was me.
I haven't told them how I feel about them. But I've started hurting just a little bit more because I feel that they may be a little perplexed, a little annoyed at why I should just stop our friendship. They might even be a little hurt. And any care they might have had for me has certainly disappeared; I haven't made eye contact with them in weeks, for reinforcement of the point.
So, I'm wondering, should I tell them how I feel. I know they don't feel the same, by the way, not one little bit, and they might find the feelings hard to except, and telling them might even hurt them, or should I just let them slip away, and leave no more harm done?
Should I explain, and do one last act honourable act, or play safe, and be a coward, and hope that they forget me?
Thanks for reading.

But if it was me in this situation i would definetly tell them. Because at least they wouldn't be left in the dark about why you just stopped talking to them.
Ask yourself this why would you want to cause another person hurt for no reason? why sit around in not do anything about it when you hold the power to make things better for them. If they reject you then so be it. You will feel better that you got it off your chest. Telling them could also give you some kind of closure to your relationship. You could begin to heal.
