Is it love or lust? 😍 😕

This is kinda a personal question. I waited until I was 25 to lose my virginity. Unfortunately, things didn't work out with the guy & I went my own way. Since, I've met someone else. He is the kindest, most patient & loving person Ive ever met. He is so different from guys Ive dated & the whole relationship is different. When I can't talk to him, it just about drives me crazy. I can't stand it. I smile all the time. I'm a happier person than Ive ever been. I overthink everything & he seems to when exactly when. He knows when something is bothering me without me having to say a word. It's crazy just how well he knows me. I really couldn't imagine my life without him.

However, because I overthink stuff & then question it, I'm a little confused. We've talked about sex, a lot. Lol. Doesn't bother me & Im comfortable talking to him about it. He knows my past & seems to be okay with it. Lately, I've had like this like need to be with him, I do t really know how to explain it. Just a craving like feeling to be with him in a intimate way... Is it lust or is it just a way of expressing Love?
