You are right true love still exists. But as you said emotional Dependence is not love. According to me love is actually emotionally dependent. We don't have same feeling and emotions to all persons. The person whom we love remain lovely till the end of life. But unfortunately when that person left he actually left us in miserable conditions. But the circle of life remain same. Because God has put patience in us.
By the way you expressed it very well. I appreciate you.
