Zing

Heart Swells, Heart Full, Heartstrings

When your heart swells, or your heartstrings are tugged. The happy, exited feeling you get in your chest and throat when your heart feels overly full.

It sometimes appears in conjunction with "heartstrings", as in two Judy Garland standards, "Zing! Went the strings of my heart" (Youtube) and "The Trolley Song" (also Youtube):
After seven months of marriage she still got a zing through her chest every time he smiled.
—Jennifer Lee, A Wild Goose Chase Christmas, 2012

A delicious zing of electricity rocketed around in my chest, and I smiled. . . . The zing came again, but this time it felt more tender. For a second I was worried I might cry. But then it passed.
Katherine Howe, Conversion, 2014

My feelings are felt in my chest – a pang in my chest when I may be doing the wrong thing, a vibrant zing when my body approves, guiding me at times when logic fails.
—Yvette V. Lapayese, Mother-Scholar: (Re)imagining K-12 Education, 2012, quoting a study participant's journal

When the main characters finally get together and it's so heartwarming you could die.

When you talk about a crush or someone you really like and your heard is bursting inside.
