What would you do if you come across your childhood crush after so many years?

My childhood hold a special place on my mind. Most of the kids in our neighborhood are the same as my age. We became very close until the time we had to move to a different place during my senior year in HS. One childhood friend of mine, was very special to me. I had a crush on him for the longest time. A lot of people were teasing us and that made us awkward every time we are together. We would spend nights just sitting in front on our house and talking while looking up at the stars or the moon. Although I liked him a lot, even through high school - he never showed any gesture that he felt the same way. I thought then that I was just a friend to him. Until the time he had to leave to be with his mom in the US. For years, I would imagine myself accidentally bumping into him at the mall or what it would be like if we became lovers. I had dreams about him - as if I was looking for him. The place of my dream would always be the neighborhood I grew up in. So, after so many years, I am now married to a guy who loves me so much. A very devoted husband and good provider to my kids. Although I only see him once a year since he works overseas, he makes it a point to make up for the lost time whenever he's home. Right now, he's away again. Then, a few days ago, I got a friend request in my facebook account - it was my childhood crush/first love. He said he finally saw me after seeing me as one of his cousin's mutual friend. Although his cousin is my friend in facebook and we constantly chat and text, I never really had the guts to ask her about him. I mean, I just asked her one time - where he is and how he's doing and that's it. She said, he's also married now in the US and has a daughter. You can only imagine how my heart pounded when he sent me his first message asking me how I am and that he joined the site just to see old friends. He is still living in the US. One message led to another until in one of his messages he mentioned that I was his childhood crush - that he wanted to court me then but he never had the guts to do it and he doesn't know how. He also didn't show it coz people were constantly teasing us. At the end of his message, he said that it's during our childhood and it's been a long time now - that it's something we should just keep between ourselves. Of course it felt good knowing that even though it was long ago - the feeling I had for him was mutual. Call it closure on my end - it really made me happy to know that. My reply to him - I also had a big crush on him then but I thought he liked somebody else and that he's right - it's been so many years, a lot of things has passed - we've a family now and it's really something we should keep to ourselves to avoid complication. Then he asked me about the guys who courted me who were also our friends. I said they did court me but I was waiting for someone until the time I realized there's no use waiting anymore. That's it...that was our conversation just this morning. What will happen tomorrow - I don't know. I feel happy right now but I am also afraid of what will come out of this. What should I do?
