I understand that you are scared but what if he feels the same way about you? Trust me, the guy will appreciate knowing the truth either way. Even though you said you were over him at one point and obviously are not that's okay.
Love and feelings for someone else are like that sometimes because you denied to him/yourself the truth and tried to supress the overwhelming truth that you do in fact have feelings for him. You can try and try to put that aside but until you deal with this issue it's going to confront you until you confront it.
I would tell this guy the truth and mention no matter what you want to be friends regardless of what you are about to tell him and get him to promise that no matter what you tell him that he'll be alright with it and the friendship continue.
If you have been friends as long as you say you have than there is nothing that either one of you could say to the other that would kill a friendship. Think of it this way: You are letting go of something that has been bothering you. The best thing that can unfold is a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship.
The worst? Well, he does not feel like you do. At least you will know and the friendship will continue as long as it's built on solid ground to begin with.
Guys are usually always flattered and respect the amount of guts it takes for a girl to tell them how she feels even if they do not feel the same. The only way to do this is tell him the truth no matter how scary it is. Once you've blurted it out it's over and you can relax.
