Thousands, even tens of thousands, of people will imprint on your life. Some positively, some negatively, some indifferently. Within those who imprint positively, there is a spectrum we call friends. Some are friends for life, others for a season, and a goodly chunk are people we are merely friendly with. To claim that love is the defining characteristic of all friendships is certified USDA Grade A bullshit.
I am very Sorry
It is not the word 'love'. Love could have many different meanings. The missing word is a practical one and cannot have more than one meaning
English is obviously not your first language if you believe trust has a single definition. And, to clarify the level of your bullshit:
It's entirely possible to have friends you do not trust, just as it's possible to trust someone you don't particularly know...
And, the same spectrum still holds true.
