I (18F) am not sure if what I have with my boyfriend (18M) of 3 years is love? What does long term love feel like?

Basically, we have been together for three years. I’ve been debating whether I actually love him or not lately. The butterflies and the high feeling are all gone, but from what I’ve read that’s normal for long term relationships? But I’ve also heard if I have to ask if I love him, the answer is no. I just want more opinions.

I basically just feel like he’s a really really really close friend that I want to have sex with. Is that what it’s supposed to feel like? Is it supposed to feel like a crush? I told him we should take a break and we did for about a week and I was absolutely miserable. I wasn’t supposed to contact him but I did every single day just to check on him. I care about him more than anyone. Maybe that’s just attachment? Maybe I’m overthinking it. Opinions?

TLDR: Is long term love supposed to feel like a best friend you want to have sex with or is it supposed to be more? Are you supposed to keep the butterflies?
