Got to disagree on the point about having to reciprocate love, Welsh Cake. Of course love can be non-reciprocal. What about if you have a child and give them up for adoption for whatever reason - couldn't you still love them even though they don't know you? What about if you have a relative who suffers brain damage so they no longer recognise you? What if you're in a relationship with somebody for a long time, then you stop loving them and break up with them but they still feel the same way about you?
There's scores of examples I can give where it could happen. I don't think it's an especially important part of your overall point but all the same it seems pretty absurd to suggest you can't love someone who doesn't love you back, or they could love you without you loving them.
