If for you the answer is yes, know that the majority of humanity would answer with a no.

You again are describing Happiness. Happiness is indeed dependent on circumstance. But, Joy like love has nothing to do with circumstance, as It is a gift from God. one that God fuels and provides for those through the Holy Spirit.. Joy is a 'fruit' or one of the evidences of the Holy Spirit.

Likewise, love is transient.   You suffer with an understanding of the inevitability of lost love..through the knowledge of death or potential abandonment of such love.  Love is a great emotion....just don't cling irrationally to it.
An emotion NOT based on circumstance. (Which is my point that counters your statement)

Therefore is it not possible for another emotion to NOT be based on circumstance?
