[ Singles & Dating ] Open Question : Why do i feel like this about a boy?

So 3 years ago I moved to Tamworth and went to a new high school and i met
this boy named Mitch we was really good friends in high school and I was
happy, but 2 years later I moved away to Birmingham which is only about
15-20mins away so I wasn't to fussed about never seeing him again, but a
couple of months after he told me that he was moving away to Cornwall i
was devastated knowing that i was literally never going to see him again.
we didn't talk for like 3months after that, when he popped up we started
to talk and he told me he had a massive crush on me when we went to the
same school and this just blew me away. he started to confess how he had
feelings for me but it would never happen as he lived so far away now, I
agreed but since that night when he told me I'm never able to get him out
of my head. I don't know what is wrong with me because every time I talk
to him I get these butterflies in my stomach. my mom has even started to
notice the amount of times I blush when on my computer. But every time we
chat it just reminds me that he is gone and I will properly will never see
him again. It feels like a dark storm cloud just appears over my head and
I just feel depressed and upset. No matter what he'll always be on my mind
and I don't understand why? Is it love? I've never been in love so I
really don't know the feeling. I don't understand It's confusing me so
much!
