Not a Buddhist, but I think it's the desire to attach to things which is the root of suffering, not that you can't love someone.

Attachment (upadana) which arises immediately from desire (tanha). "The desire, adherence, attraction, and attachment for these five grasping aggregates is the origin of suffering."

I agree and should have agreed differently that an absence of attachment does not mean an absence of love.
