Can you love someone romantically but not sexually?

Questioning

I don’t think I’m asexual but when it comes to my ex-best-friend I loved her in a way that Is indescribable

I don’t think I’ll ever feel that way again

Everything about me revolved around her

I would wake up thinking of her and go to sleep thinking of her

I would go on extraordinary measures just to be with her

We never did anything sexual and I’ve never thought of her in such a way

thinking back on this I’m pretty sure I loved her in a romantic way just not sexually does that make any sense? And just platonic love isn’t the right word for it I’ve never felt like that with anyone else
Never not even my closest friends it’s just not the same
With her it was different

it was so much more so much

it made me dumb I would’ve done anything for her and I did do everything she asked

So I’ve been thinking and is this asexuality? I’m not sure I’m not good with labels

I don’t know if this is the right community to post this in so I’m sorry if this maybe offends you in any way
