Love exists?

Someone told me that true love doesn’t exist while I argued that it did, as I felt that I was in one. But now I realize that I may have gone wrong, all the pain has suddenly vanished. The difference that I see today from yesterday is that the expectations do not exist now. A person was probably right in saying that it’s not love, it’s need, a habit that will go away someday. And yes it has disappeared, there is no love now. But the question here is ‘was love ever there?’
