Can someone slap some sense into me?

It is a literal nightmare to want to be with someone who only wants to be friends. Him and I are very close. He’s extraordinary & so good to me it makes me weak. We talk daily until we go to sleep. He’s sensitive to my needs and wants and his communication skills are perfect. The problem is he only wants to be friends. Which there is nothing I can do about it and won’t try because his feelings are his feelings and I can’t change that. But sometimes it truly depresses me. It’s taken It’s toll on me mentally so I have the decision to either completely take this amazing person out of my life in an attempt to be able to move on from him or continue to be friends & secretly have feelings for him which is no good. An almost impossible decision. Any input? 🥴
