And is your cousin in love with you? Love is merely infatuation when it's one sided. I can't imagine a 19 year old feeling romantic feelings for a 12 year old! What if a 5 year old fell in love with you? That's how far apart you are. Granted, as we get older the age difference means less and less, but that doesn't start until after high school.
You have a crush. It's OK as long as you recognize that it has to stay one sided, like having a crush on a teacher or star. It's even OK to go around telling family you have a crush, as long as you don't cross over the line into wanting to have a real romantic relationship. If you do cross that line, your family is going to be very upset.
