Buddha says attachement is the cause of dukkha.
The Buddha said attachment is dukkha:
The Noble Truth of Suffering (dukkha), monks, is this: Birth is suffering, aging is suffering, sickness is suffering, death is suffering, association with the unpleasant is suffering, dissociation from the pleasant is suffering, not to receive what one desires is suffering —
in brief
the five aggregates
subject to grasping
are suffering
.
Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta: Setting in Motion the Wheel of Truth
He has been stilled where the currents of
construing
do not flow. And when the currents of construing do not flow, he is said to be a sage at peace.' Thus was it said. With reference to what was it said?
'
I am
' is a construing
. '
I am
this' is a construing. '
I shall
be' is a construing. '
I shall not
be' is a construing.
Construing is a disease, construing is a cancer, construing is an arrow
. By going beyond all construing, he is said to be a sage at peace.
Dhatu-vibhanga Sutta
the Buddha said craving is the cause of dukkha:
The Noble Truth of the Origin (cause) of Suffering is this: It is this craving (thirst) which produces re-becoming (rebirth) accompanied by passionate greed, and finding fresh delight now here, and now there, namely craving for sense pleasure, craving for existence and craving for non-existence (self-annihilation).

I also love Buddha but, Buddha was a human too. The Buddha taught "love" comes in many forms, including greed, lust, covetousness, affection & metta
For example, when a man disrespectfully lusts after a beautiful woman, this is covetousness
As you are not reading & respecting the Buddha's words, as this stage, your "love" does not appear to be metta for the Buddha
