I love you Andy. English is limited in that it uses one word to express a whole host of different and complicated emotions. There is the love you hold for someone that is both sexual and friendship (that with is usually referred to as "true love" or just "love") and then there is the love for one's friends, family, pets - each is different but somehow the same. I agree that the people you love are those you actively seek to spend more time with. This means I don't love all my friends. I like them, care about their well-being and frequently enjoy spending time with them if it occurs but there's only a couple that I actively miss when I don't see them for a while. Your one of them.
