I think you need to talk to him about this. Tell him exactly how you feel. Just like you've told us here. He may or may not reciprocate (probably not, sorry), but you need to do this anyway because you sound like you need some closure. You obviously want something to change...
In my own personal experience, I've not been able to get over someone like that unless I didn't see them anymore. Complete separation. That's the sad, cold-hard truth. The way that I see it, you can either:
1. Not tell him, remain friends, and continue to suffer by pining/lusting after this guy who doesn't return those same feelings to you (trust me, that's a very lonely and depressing place to put yourself in).
or
2. You can tell him.
He will either reciprocate or he will not. It's as simple as that. If he does not reciprocate, then things will no doubt change between you two. However, it will be better in the long run. Initially, you will hurt for a while. Rejection hurts, that's a fact. Eventually, time will heal you. You'll get over your hurt for him. Once that happens, you can start focusing on you and the things that make you happy. Once you are happy with/by yourself, then you will be able to find someone to be happy with together.
Happiness truly does come from within though, you just have to discover it for yourself.
