I all but guarantee you, if you actually attempt to shut these feelings down, clarify that you are just going to be platonic with your friend from now on, pull away a little bit, and invest more in your boyfriend as opposed to splitting your investment between your friend and your boyfriend that your feelings for your friend will stop developing. Stop looking for signs that he reciprocates your feelings, stop talking about the "deeper connection" you two share, stop making your boyfriend feel like he's a third wheel when your friend is around, and make his texts less of a priority in your life. You cannot continue to pour your emotions into this man and thus by proxy neglect your boyfriend. If you decide you want to keep your boyfriend, then these feelings for your friend need to stop. You can still be close friends with him, as again I don't think you've actually progressed to a point where you're cheating on your boyfriend, but you cannot be his "special" friend anymore. You need to outright tell your friend that you value him as a person but you want to keep things platonic only. IF you value your boyfriend and want to stay in a relationship with him, you should try and cultivate the same sort of "deeper connection" you have with your friend with your boyfriend.
