What is the best way say this?
I am still extremely close friends with my first love. I never really stopped loving him. We lost contact for 2 years, but we have been back in contact for a few months now. We both moved on after we separated. Both of us have been married and divorced, and I have a 4 year old. He lives in another state, and we have not seen each other in person (just video chat and talking on the phone) for a little over 8 years now. He is in the army, and is going to be shipping out after Christmas. I want to tell him that my feelings for him are still here before he leaves, because if something happened to him and I never said anything I would severely regret it. What is the best way to tell him? I don't want to compromise our friendship, but I have to tell him, so how should I do it?

nobody on this website can give you a script and say "here tell this to him"...
you have to just speak from your heart. say what you feel and dont have any regrets. don't hold back on anything. yes, you might say something that he won't agree with.. but would you rather have him disagree with something you said, or to wonder everyday what he would have said..?
just straight out tell him how you feel. something along the lines of "i still love you" or "you were my first love and i never really got over you and i'm still emotionally attached to you" or "i dont want to let you go because you mean a lot to me". just let your heart speak.

fine, just tell him. my girlfriend told me, and having her through my deployment made dealing with that hellhole a lot easier. try to ease it into the conversation if you're not sure how he'll react. it took about two months of conversation for mine to work it in, and we had known each other for six years. but you've already done that footwork, so the next time you're talking with him, just sneak it in. you have plenty of time, just make sure you're not spending the deployment worrying yourself sick about him. thats not healthy.
good luck
