Baby,
just hear me out.
What is it, honestly? How do you know when this is what you’re experiencing? People sometimes say “I really really like him/her but I don’t love him/her”. This graduates to “I love him/her but I’m not in love with him/her”
What even are these feelings?
How do you know?

1. I was unconsciously doing things for him that I hadn't before - like when stopping for groceries I'd buy something for him just because I knew he'd like it, or when I'd get up to get myself a drink I'd get one for him too.
2. I'd look forward to coming home just to see him. Even if we had no plans beyond sitting in front of the tv all night, I wanted to come home just to spend that time with him.
3. When thinking about the future he was always a part of what I envisioned.

There are different kinds of love.
Love for a close friend. Love for a pet. Love for a parent or sibling. Love for your child. Love for a romantic partner/spouse. Love for a place.
How do I know I love someone instead of just liking them? Kind of hard to put into words.
I think it involves many things like deep respect, joy in their company, wanting to give, support or proect them, feeling you can be open and vulnerable with them, being comfortable together, going through many shared experiences, hurting when they hurt, being happy when they are happy, feeling like you are a better/more complete person with them, knowing the person beyond their public face. I think when you love someone it is a unique relationship in your life that you would not mistake. The person can not be replaced by another.
I think I knew my dh was special to me when I felt almost immediately that I could talk to him about anything. I felt incredibly right with him. That was pretty unusual for me.

Yeah but they’ll melt in the rain unless they’re covered with a candy shell but since they were wrapped in gold foil that’s unlikely so he was basically screwed all along and nothing changed except he foolishly got his hopes up and that’s why love sucks yo4 -
Love is a cat that paws at your face at 2am for no reason other than love, then chokes you out by curling up into your neck ... But you love them so much you're willing to forego oxygen.5

Love is steak and eggs, and if that's not love then I don't know what is... Maybe bacon and eggs1
