What do these sentences mean? Does the second sentence mean "The feeling has been in my mind for a very long time"? / "I've felt this way for a very long time"?

Without context, it's meaningless. We don't know what 'it' is. It's also unclear why he has a feeling about 'us', when he then references some random 'it'.

There has to be a context.

Why did you post those sentences? Where did you see them?

Dear moderator, a friend asked me what this sentence means (without any context). One of his friends asked him, and he didn't know and asked me for help. But I didn't know either. So I came here and got to know the sentence has to have a context to mean something. Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you. It would have been helpful if you had told us that in post #1.

That information is the context in which you are asking the question.:)

Thank you for your kind advice, Rover. I had thought it was a fixed idiom or something which I didn't know. Next time I will do as you told me. And to dear moderator emsr2d2: the Thank and Like buttons on my pages won't work, as often happens, perhaps because of the slow loading of pages on my end.
