Justin Bieber's giving us the feels. 

The singer posted a throwback picture to Instagram Saturday of him kissing his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, captioned with the simple yet powerful word "Feels."

What does this mean?

Perhaps that he misses Gomez, with whom he had a highly-publicized, on-again-off-again-on-again relationship with from 2011 to 2014 -- after which their breakup lead to even more public scrutiny.

This isn't the first time Bieber has gotten #nostalgic for his ex on social media. Last December, he posted several old images of the couple cuddling together.

And while Gomez has said she is "so done" talking about their breakup, Bieber has often spoken about Gomez, saying to Billboard in November, “I’m proud of the woman she is today. When you love someone that much, even if something comes between you, it’s a love that never really dies.” 

In other unrelated news, Bieber also posted a less intimate picture alongside Marilyn Manson, so analyze that as you wish. 

Night out in la with the boys
