I guess most of people do not understand the true meaning of love.
To my personal opinion, you really love someone when you can put aside yourself from the focus center and highlight the happiness of the person you love above everything.
So it is not about yourself, it is merely about the other person.
And it is amazing how thin the layer is between love and hatred. People loving truly would let go peacefully, others simply turn to hate the person they "loved" once their craving is unsatisfied. How egoistic.
I wonder whether it was really love or just some camouflage of greediness.
