I am harbouring feelings for someone who is a bit older than me. Older than me as in it would be illegal to start anything, the age difference isn't horrible, but at the moment it seems a bit much. At least later on it wouldn't be as dramatic as it seems now.
Anyway, everyone has their ideal person in their head. And it seems that this person fits all of my...criteria, if you will.
I'm not exactly sure what to do with my situation. At the moment this person is too old, but my feelings are so strong. I see it as wrong, in my mind, to harbour feelings but I can't help it. I have a decent friendship with this person at the moment but nothing more, as it should be. My fear is that life will continue on and this person will find someone else without have ever knowing how I felt or giving me a chance (at least when it was okay to have started anything.)

Well. I truly don't believe that you can choose who you love, or even who you're attracted to. I think that you realize that your best option is to tell this person how you feel, otherwise, you will never know if they feel the same way about you. Perhaps you should begin by dropping some hints, in order to find out how this person would feel about dating a (significantly?) younger person. That way you won't risk severe embarassment, or damage to your friendship. If you're willing to make a more blunt approach, you will get a more direct answer, but that would mean risking your ego and your friendship. Good luck, and don't worry too much. If you two have mutual feelings, it will work out regardless of age. Unless, this person is so much older that that... well... if they are closer to your parent's age than your own, I'd not take any steps further and ignore all of the above advice. Good luck, and be careful.
