I stole private photos from my friend while he was sleeping

This happened a year ago

I was sexually confused, and didn’t know if I loved him or not, and when he was here, I dug in his photos because I knew the password

I didn’t download, share, or copy it, just looked, but doesn’t rectify my actions at all

I feel absolute horrific shame in what I’ve done, I never did it again, and desperately want tell him just, can’t find a way to tell him without him either never trusting me again, or never forgiving me, its eating me alive

I don’t care how he sees me, I just don’t want this strain on our friendship, Please help
