It's unfortunate that English doesn't have enough words for different kinds of love: lustful "love", romantic love, brotherly love, general love of humankind, appreciation for non-human things (e.g. I love these shoes!), different words for levels of love (e.g. between "like" and "love"), etc.

Instead they're all lumped into "love". Ugh.

Your examples show that you can express these ideas in English quite fine.
